Thursday’s ad is another one for Rheingold Beer, this one from 1948, featuring Miss Rheingold for that year, Pat Quinlan. In this ad, she’s in a firehouse, posing by a fire truck with a dalmatian standing on it. She’s wearing a tan (or is that yellow?) outfit trimmed with a cheetah pattern, and also has a cheetah muffler and hat. Were they trying to tie the spots of the dog and the outfit together? Or is she a modern day Cruella DeVille?
