They're setting the bar really high. Women, pretty or otherwise, who are capable of writing things down, handing over car keys, recommending restaurants or just being generally helpful? Good luck, buddies! Personally, I can barely do anything besides put on mascara. Whoa, wait a second! Who's writing this? I don't know how to type!
A totally mad UK advert for Ariston appliances circa 1987, inspired by the song 'Da Da Da' by Trio:
Sep sez: I've never come across an Ariston appliance in any house I've been in, which says a lot about the effectiveness of the company's marketing campaign...
Izh 412 rally car, circa 1975, with stern-looking Olga Korbutt type:

Shepfact: Izh cars were/are made by Izhevsk Mechanical Works, the same concern which makes the AK-47 'Kalashnikov' assault rifle. Who needs guns when you have such formidable automotive weapons as the Izh 412, driven by slinky female athletes? :)
Advert from 1954 for Dekatron™ display tubes made by Ericsson, a company rather famous for its mobile phones these days:
Dekatrons™ were used until the 1970s in a wide variety of things, including calculators, computers and adding machines. They fell out of use when transistors became affordable.
In-car entertainment, 1940s-style from EKCO. The model in the advert was state of the art back then:
EKCO were one of the UK's leading producers of in-car radios in the 1940s and 1950s and supplied most of Ford Motor Company's car radios for many years. Sadly, they are no more.
