These are 16mm ads from some old Lawrence Welk shows I have circa 1958-1959.Commercials the way they used to do them....live! Dodge Swept Wing 58 and the new Dodge '59. Projected on a 16mm Kodak Pageant 250s.

Would you be familiar with a Dodge Coronet commercial filmed on El Mirage dry lake in which they used a rocket to show the Dodge's braking ability?

During the '50s, Lawrence Welk's "DODGE DANCING PARTY" appeared every Saturday night at 9pm(et) over ABC- it finally became "THE LAWRENCE WELK SHOW" when more than one sponsor was involved {Pharmaceuticals, Inc., the makers of "Geritol", became his alternate sponsor in 1959}. These are "intermission" ads from the 1957-'58 season (when Dodge promoted its 1958 {and one late model '57} "Swept Wing" models), featuring several of Welk's regular performers [including Larry Hooper and Alice Lon].
