As Time Goes By
Be transported through time with this history of transport itself, ending in a hearty plug for Austin cars.
Catch a ride on this whistle-stop tour of transport history via trains, planes and automobiles. This promotional film sponsored by Austin ends with a hearty plug for the latest models of their cars: "Yesterday to buy a car was something of a speculation - today you invest in an Austin".

The Open Road
Whether you're going by road, rail, air or sea, this collection of screen ads doesn't just get you from A to B, it offers a road map to an A-Z of desirable destinations.
Throughout the 20th century, screen advertising helped transform the car from luxury conveyance for the wealthy to essential commodity, 'hand-built by robots'. It saw out the last days of steam, and made 'the age of the train'. And it presented travel - at home or abroad - as a route to a better life.
