Wanted: A Girl To Be Frozen Alive
"No experience necessary" Flint Journal - Aug 9, 1965 I'm confident that the want ad seeking a girl to be frozen alive was simply part of the publicity stunt. A way to drum up interest in the local community. Though I wonder if any young women actually sent in their resume. In fact, the car dealership must already have contracted with an act that supplied its own 'frozen alive' model — as evidenced by the fact that a mere two days after the above ad ran, a new ad appeared featuring a professionally-posed model. Flint Journal - Aug 11, 1965 As we've previously posted, the 'girl frozen alive' stunt was popular with American car dealerships in the 1960s. I think the stunt originated as a magic act in the 1920s/early 1930s. See, for instance, our post about Moro the Human Icicle who performed a frozen-alive stunt in the 1930s. Scantily clad young women quickly replaced performers such as Moro as the frozen specimens. After 1970, the stunt fell out of fashion.
