"The Wells Motor Co. didn't waste any time. Just a couple of days later, a sign was in place over the store that read: "WELLS MOTOR CO., WINDOW BROKEN when BABE RUTH, Drove The Ball Over Right Field Pavilion Breaking, All Records For Home Runs In One Series Game." Babe Ruth showed up for a photo shoot standing next to the car, and the full page advertisement was featured in the October 10, newspapers."
There is also an image of an almost identical photo except from a somewhat different angle shown.
and here is the ad in the Oct 10 1926 St Louis Post-Dispatch
