Original 1929 Pin-Up Artist McClelland Barclay FISHER BODY GIRL Automobile Ad

Original full-page General Motors ad promoting its Body by Fisher automobile coachbuilding emblem, with a handsome illustration by pin-up artist McClelland Barclay, printed more than 84 years ago.

McClelland Barclay was a noted artist and commercial illustrator who created the "Fisher Body Girl" for a series of advertisements for General Motors. He used his 19-year-old wife as the model for the iconic Fisher Body image, which appeared not only in magazine advertisements but also on countless billboards across the country.

This ad measures 10" x 7" and includes a list of General Motors marques: Cadillac, LaSalle, Buick, Viking, Oakland, Marquette, Oldsmobile, Pontiac, and Chevrolet. The artwork is signed in the lower corner:

Condition: This ad is in very good condition, bright and clean, with no rips or tears. There are old two staple marks at the far right edge, well outside the image area.

This is an original, authentic 1929 advertisement, not a reproduction or modern reprint, and it is fully guaranteed to be genuine. It would look wonderful matted and framed, and we'll include our helpful framing tips for your reference — along with a photocopy of the dated cover page from the magazine in which it was published. We are pleased to offer this vintage ad with our unconditional, money-back guarantee.
