I was born the year this commercial was made. I miss "cool" car commercials.

Also - When this commercial came out, my dad stood up off the couch and said, "I'm getting one!" He retired his 1985 Trans Am and picked up a Red WS6. What happened to cool car commercials like this?

Unfortunately, with the exception of maybe 4 or 5 distinctive models, most of the cars on the road today all look alike to me. Nothing exciting about that no matter how they try to sell it on TV.
I think that is why I like the latest Dodge Brothers commercials so much. They show a little history :)Quote:

Most probably won't remember the new endura bumper for 68 GTO's and the guy on TV beating it with a crow bar.
I also remember when the 98 TA commercials came out posted above, and the criticism that Pontiac got from claims of promoting street racing. Now look at TV, you can turn on something any given night of the week and find something that promotes street racing :rolleyes:
Lets go back to before you guys were born....

This one is interesting watching it now, notice he pulls the knob under the dash, this car had the optional VOE mufflers that acted like exhaust dumps. Sadly the option was short lived and very few produced. Those Boss mustangs and vettes with optional dumps have nothing new :D

You seen the new 21 Jump Street when they go back to high school? They roll up in a beautiful Camaro, and are hated on because of its emissions footprint. heh.
It was all about cruising the Blvd :yup: Ending up at Bob's Big Boy... My Mom and Dad meet on cruise night on Van Nuys Blvd :D
We had a Bob's Big Boy on our cruise strip, too! Cue 1999. You'd get a fine if caught cruising the strip. If you made 3 or more passes you'd get a ticket. I'm rocking the rattiest 3rd gen V6 red Camaro you've ever seen. We had fun, but no where near the level I imagine it would be back then.Quote:

Then there were the regular Frisches (non mainliner) scattered about, but they were always (and still are) hot cruise nights. Still doing it every Friday and Saturday night.
Jim (67CamaroRSSS) remembers the Dodge Bros and thought of them as nice young men...Quote:

I want one of these only 25 made in 92 .. you could order it with rollbars .. but 42-45k was a lot of $$$ then
