In regards to editing the ads, it is kind of tricky because they are all scans of original, relatively low quality (according to today's standards) magazine prints. They require quite a bit of work to clean up, and it is difficult to improve resolution or clarity. When I modify them, I accept these limitations and try to use them to my advantage, remembering that they are vintage ads afterall and it completes the look and feel to preserve that. Here are a few I've done (including a VW one because I'm also a Volkswagen guy!).

I love how you lowered them. Cannot tell other than knowing it isnt real.
