Auto Ads - We Love, We Hate

So I came across some older ads and thought cool, ugh not cool and thought we should have an Auto Ad thread where we post em and discuss them.

I actually liked when this man was a spokes person for the K-car revolution. He made everything cool! 

This just made me crack up when I saw this!

I should scan pieces out of my 6500-count ad collection. Problem is, I don't know where to start.

Yoda, Bless us with your randomness of picking. I am sure there would be some awesome ad's to see!  

[Drew Dowdell]

One of the best commercials imho.

 

[balthazar]

One of the handful of Olds' I'd strongly consider owning is the second-year '62 Starfire hardtop, and I do like this 'cut-off' ad, that's pretty unusual in car advertising:

 

Also always liked this ad from '50- a ripping car and huge towering '88' numbers:

[oldshurst442]

A couple that I love. These are recent.

TV commercials....what else would I post?

As you folk know by now, posting vids is kinda my thing...

 

 

And a couple that I CANT STAND!

Knowing that Chevy trucks now are kinda like Fords...

 

Any phoquing Mazda Zoom Zoom commercial!

 

[oldshurst442]

Another one that I LOVE

On the next commercial:

I must admit, I liked it then, I HATE it now!

Why?

Corporate lies and deceit fueled by greed!

I still love the song though....well, the original....by Cheap Trick!

The Chrysler convertible reminds me of the time my father and I looked at one of those new...must have been back when I was in High school.

I absolutely love that Era of Oldsmobile.

[A Horse With No Name]

 

Still like this one...

 

Not really an advert, but funny...I love the Mitsu pulling out the Cummins with the camping trailer.

 

One of my favorite adverts, one of my favorite cars

 

Not exactly colorful, but I like it....

[A Horse With No Name]

 

As a Mustang Lover and the father of two car loving sons of driving age, maybe one of my all time favorites...

Were we closer, I would love to be able to build an online database of that here on C&G.

I had a similar Olds advert hanging on my bedroom wall as a teen.  That might give the Mustang Fastback a run for its money in terms of my affection...I have a real soft spot for the 46-54 ERA GM cars, Olds and Pontiac in particular.

He's like 20 minutes from the house where I grew up.  I know the drive well.

There is a whole little series with the Gas Monkey garage on YouTube that is quite enjoyable.

Love the Jeep Advert, will have to test drive one of those also.

 

Freaking LOVE two big American V8's in this...

Too funny and now that so called Clean TDI from Audi is very dirty due to software cheating.  

Still awesome commercial.

That Hurst Olds sadly reminds me of a co workers car that was stolen...I always wanted one of those.

Those are right up there with the Monte Carlo SS Aero I love.

That was the most painful thing about living in Ohio...a lot of those Monte SS were sold around here and they seemed to be the favorite ride of people from Vinton county down where everyone cooked meth and no ones family tree branched.

Most painfully modified car was one that was dark blue...guy built a 4" PVC (yea plastic!) dual exhaust that was routed through the rear floor pans (where the butt of the two rear seat passengers would be) and out through the rear passenger roof semi style...complete with semi style flappers made from old HVAC duct.

THAT was a painful car to watch roll around.

We had a white SRT-8 Chrysler 300 that was modified equally tastelessly...

Neither owner looked like they had bathed since the Carter administration.
