Poodle Time!-Poodles On Wheels

Today's post is inspired by a tip about Jack Lemon and his love of Poodles. He was once quoted as saying, "I don't need a car and driver but the Poodle does". Thanks KMF for the great tip. It really inspired me. 

Jack Lemmon and his Poodle in his Ferrari

Photo by John Rawlings, definitely 50's but don't have the exact date.

A pink Poodle in what I think is a pink Thunderbird, during the 50's.

And that pooch happens to be a Poodle. I 'm not sure where I got this but place it in the late 40's.

Winston Churchill in route with one of his Poodles.  He had two during his life time and they were both named Rufus.

Just a cute vintage photograph and a girl, her tri-cycle, and her Poodle.

Mom, when I said we should get a cool sports car, I meant something larger that this!
You can give this one to the cat.

Sophia, Niko and I are going to tool on out.  Have a great week.

Poodle Time!-Poodles and Cola Ads

Poodles and Cola=Stylin' in Mid-Century

Pepsi equated  active, modern, and stylish people with drinking Pepsi Cola, and of course, you had to own a Poodle.

1954-If you went to the beach, had a Poodle and had style, you had to drink Pepsi.
This is probably my favorite ad of the group and I was able to snag one on ebay.

1959-If you dress to the nines, have Poodles, you must drink Pepsi.

Coca-Cola had the more family approach with their ads.

So if you are in the hospital and can't have you favorite Poodle with you,

 a stuffed one will have to do. This is an ad designed by William A Smith.  In fact, I believe his daughter was the little girl.  I could not find a date, However,  she is probably in there to get

her tonsils taken out.  Back then, if you so much as sneezed, out came the tonsils.

1964-Even Santa drank Coke and brought Poodles for Christmas.
This is the original oil painting for the ad by Haddon Hubbard "Sunny" Sundblom.
The painting's title  is Things Go  Better With Coke.
