Vintage Vacation Anyone? Vintage Travel Advertisements

categories: travel, vintage images

If you read my blog then you know that I was just in Las Vegas for “Viva Las Vegas Rockabilly Weekend“. It was a fun weekend of amazing bands, dancing, vintage shopping, retro pool parties, vintage car show and 1000’s of well dressed 1940’s and 1950’s ladies and men. For 4 days I really felt like I was on a “Vintage Vacation” and it is really really hard being at work today.

Me at work today 🙂

I’m currently going thru all my pictures, friends pictures etc. of my trip but while I do that lets take a look at some vintage travel ads and maybe help plan your own vintage vacation in the near or distant future (Scroll to the end for other Vintage Travel posts I have done).

Fly to Spain with TWA.

Ahhh Spain, that would be a beautiful and wonderful vacation (of which I’m going to in June for a wedding).

Visit Michigan-A water wonderland vacation. -1950s Travel ad.

I grew up in South Western Ontario right on the border with Michigan so I have spent a lot of time in that State. Wonderful state to visit with lots of water activities courtesy of the 4 Great Lakes.

1950s vintage ad featuring a family ready to explore Michigan-The Water Wonderland Vacation.

I have been to Cuba many many times as I just find it to be a beautiful and fun country to visit. You can’t get anymore “vintage” than Havana with all its vintage 1950’s cars and Art Deco buildings.

1950s Greyhound Bus Ad. This ad is not taking you anywhere in particular but it’s a great Spring ad and it allows you to dream of all the places you could go..in comfort of course.

Visit Brazil with Braniff International Airways. Brazil..Sun, Sand, glorious music and yummy food. That would be one amazing vintage vacation!

1950s / 1960s advertisement. This ad sure does make Rhode Island look mighty appealing, I might have to visit it one day.

Vintage travel ad for Rhode Island-1950s / 1960s vintage ad.

1950s Vintage ad: Delta to Miami…trunk line to Sunshine.

Miami….nuff said. I also, I love the idea of getting off a plane and just heading right into the pool HA!

Are you up for a Quickie vintage vacation in the Soutwest Sun Country? TWA can help you out!

Now with all this travelling one does need the perfect outfit for each location. It looks like Frederick’s Hollywood has thought out all those details with some of the most amazing dresses and swimsuits. WOW!
