Martini & Rossi (1960s)
Perhaps rivaling the woman being used as a rug is this ad for Martini & Rossi from the 1960’s that shows a woman literally trapped in a cage for a man’s enjoyment.

It’s pretty unbelievable that this ad was ever approved, even if it did run in the 1970’s. We’re not even sure what they really mean by “a woman’s car,” but it really is ridiculous to market a vehicle based on gender. It’s pretty offensive that they were trying to equate a bad car to being “womanly.”
