What car commercials have stuck in your memory?

[SteveSS]

I vividly remember the Dodge commercials with the southern sheriff, "You in a heap of trouble boy.: I remember some Ford truck commercials touting the twin I-Beam front axle. They had a rod sticking out from the wheel and one from the cab, The one on the wheels was contacting and setting off a bunch of explosions from what I guess were road flares while the one on the cab didn't touch the caps. Obviously showing the ride quality.

I remember the GTO commercial when the kid reaches down and pulls the exhaust cutout which was a very rare option on GTOs. See video.

I always enjoyed the ones from Cal Worthington......all his crazy antics made the commercial worth watching.

This one from New Zealand is one of the best ever made....



Often copied, never beaten.

I remember Belmont Motors, a high performance used car lot in Vancouver. The radio ads sang to the tune of the Beach Boy's 409:

You want a Belmont Motors
High-Performance
Muscle Machine!

That hit home. The last dealer I worked at was Worthington Dodge in Carlsbad Ca. He was quite the gentleman. We went to the Christmas party for the dealer in 03, very nice. He was in his 80's at the time, WW2 Vet/Pilot like my dad and a poster child for Viagra. Had a 40ish year old wife and a 2 year old son.
