This is an advertisement for Goodyear Polyglass tires. It's message essentially is that women are horrible drivers, so make sure you have good tires ;)
This is an older advertisement so it's pretty obviously sexist but this seems to be before the time when women were overly sexualized, which I think it interesting because if it were an ad for today the woman would have been gorgeous, wearing something extremely revealing, and smiling seductively.

"Enjoy your nature."
This ad seems to say that being a good looking lesbian is awesome, but being a gay man is not. So we should just go with "nature" and drink whatever beer they're selling because we'll get to see two girls oiling each other down.
It's almost funny (while actually being really sad) how ridiculous advertisements can get. And it's a little upsetting what people will actually take away from them even though we consciously think "Oh, it's just a stupid commercial."
