Some cool Mooney Sales ads..

[hammdo]

Lots here, I found these very fun to look at. Hope everyone enjoys them...

neat

I'd love to have the military version with the full canopy in a 310hp rocket version.  I would like to see the control configuration if they went to stick control instead of yoke.

I’d love to find one of the military Mooneys!

Wow, too much fun!  Ya gotta love a creative marketing department!  

One day Mooney will have one again ! 

[hammdo]

Wonder who won the gold handled matched Colt 45s?

This is so good, thanks for sharing! It’s what this brand stands for: speed, value, and efficiency. The new owners would do well to remember that. 
 

Interesting to me is the competitive bravado. I guess that’s Texas marketing for ya!

notice how in the Super 21 ad they mention the Mooney Twin.

More recently, Mooney ran an ad with the Headline: “Lose the Training Wheels.”

I thought it was a clever and effective dig on Cirrus. Couldn’t find an image on the intertubes.

Truly... Commercial Artwork that would be perfect for a hangar home/office!

And a few more (I like saving what I find):

How about the lifetime warranty on the wood structure! Or it so easy to fly an 11 yr old can do it!

[hammdo]

Keep rocking it...

[MooneyMitch]

Man, I’m lovin’ this thread!  One of our best threads of the year!!!

[hammdo]

A few more for now. I think this is most of what I have...

Mooney had some really cool vintage ads!

I lied...;o)

Ok, this is it now:

Don,

That is a spectacular collection of Mooney history!

• Speed
• Efficiency
• Safety
• Lifetime warranty! 

 

Sending a note to @Jonny (interesting copies of collection of Mooney ads through the years)  kind of a walk through history lesson... 

 

Best regards,

Yea, I love old ads like this...

Mooney had some real sharp, crisp ones!

Very cool. Never knew about the Master with convertible gear.

M20-D. At last count, there were three (3) that still had the original, down-and-welded gear. Several converted Ds here, @Skates97 and @MooneyMitch both leap to mind.

This is aka the M20D...

It started with a fixed pitch prop, and fixed gear...

And for a few dollars more... Most have been converted to variable pitch and retractable...

Often referred to as an M20C/D  because it is an M20C in performance, but still a D in legal name...

There are three Ds left with their original feet... two were MSers for a long time... but have recently been sold...

There is a picture of one of the M20Ds, as it was used in a fashion shoot... beautiful girl, beautiful plane... sort of a modern version of the ads here... no TX style of hat though...   

Fun facts in the Mooney story...

Best regards,

Well done @hammdo.  I agree - thread of the year! I’d love to find a way to get a high quality print some of these for my Super 21!
