And by European they mean French, apparently.

"Voices of East Anglia" sounds rather British, so be glad they didn't just call it "continental posters"... :)

And yeah, to me (as a German) they look quite French (based on style, clothing, topics, etc.)

Well, some of them seem Belgian.

Well, there's a single poster for the Genfer Autosalon in Switzerland and perhaps a few Belgian ones - but certainly European = Francophone, right?

(Also, now I am peeved I can't have a KELVINATOR fridge.)

These are great. They make me want to go over to "that Europe" ... not the Europe that I can fly to on a 767, but the inaccessible world, the lost world ... Europe in the 60s, motoring around France in a 2CV. Presentation could use some context/dates (the Sophia Loren movie came out in 1972, and the ad for the Geneve International Auto Salon is from 1957, so there's a wide range of years covered here, but it seems to be centered on the mid-late 60s. (And, as others have noted, primarily but not exclusively French ... but what's wrong with that?).
