Found this old tire ad today on my favourite animal-themed image blog, Animalarium. Isn't it lovely? It's from 1923, by Polish graphic artist Tadeusz Gronowski. Do you think it was the inspiration for some of the cards in Mille Bornes, the excellent and beautiful French driving-themed card game designed by Arthur/Edmond Dujardin in 1960?
Or do I just wish everything looked like Mille Bornes? Oh, when is Mad Men going to come back?

You could be right about the ad. By the way, where can you get the Mille Bornes game? We used to have it but I think it got destroyed when our cupboard flooded.
Ooh me like!
I think you can get it fairly easily at larger toy stores. Don't be disappointed if it doesn't look the same as it used to, though. As the guy points out on the design blog I linked the game's name to, there have been "literally hundreds of different editions."
