No, I'm mean modern ads don't fit with old trams. Historic ads are OK.

It's still used as a normal tram. It's not some museum.

Still it would be a nice touch if the city would require advertisers to provide an old ad for their product (if available) or create one stylistically fitting. A "historically accurate" ad for an iPhone would probably be more of an eye catcher than a typical one on this tram.

It should be a privilege to advertise on this nice tram. So advertisers should work a little harder for it.

That would actually be a good idea. And they could even charge extra for the ad placement.
