Several years ago, while I was the ad agency Creative Director for Klosterman Bread in Cincinnati, I was told a true story by the son of the founder, which I turned into a radio commercial.

In the 1930s, the founder only had one bread delivery truck. So he painted one side a certain color and the other side a different color. He thought that people would see a certain color going one direction down the street, and a different one coming back, and think he was successful enough to have two trucks.

Its too bad people dont think like that anymore.

That sounds like a great straight line, but I'd probably come up with a political punchline.

I saw this car at the Pismo Beach car show this year. It is not just the paint. One side of the car is a stock restoration while the other side is street rodded . We are talking paint, interior, rims and tires, even down to a custom air cleaner (half). The lady said it was used to teach their agents the difference when insuring classic cars

The truck story is very cool and good thinking on the part of the baker.

The Camaro, not so much. Utter stupidity in my oh-so-humble opinion.

Well, if Chris Nolan decides to have Two-Face in his next Batman movie, this just might work for his ride! I jusr can't believe that some people think they actually cut up two Camaro's to make this one..................

It is kind of painful to see this sort of thing done to a classic Camaro. They should have found some P.O.S. Mustang instead mlike a local MAACO shop had several years ago where they repainted one side and completely detailed that side out, added new tires and wheels, etc, while leaving the other side looking like ######, right down to the filthy windows and the wiper scratch in the windshield.

I thought it was a neat idea as the car was going to be crushed anyways and it is being used to help their agents todetermine what the difference is beyween a horod and a stock car

Was it the one that was split front to back? With some rainbow or something ? I think I remember one like that too.
