[@TheDukeMitchell]

thedukemitchell.uk/ for more weird videos plus strange film nights in London.

[@PatFrenchLeafsFan1]

Are there any car ads from Canada?

[@brianlackie5093]

The footage is amazing. It's like looking through a window back in time . The buildings in the background and there's boats and gas stations and the cars, and the people... They were brand new in these images. We're not looking at a resto mod, we're looking at authentic historical footage here. These great, thank you

[@brianlackie5093]

People new how to run an engine back then. Nowadays the computer does everything for you, you just push a button. Back in the Model T days drivers not only had to start the engine by hand they had to know how to adjust the timing on the Fly which really wasn't difficult but had to do weird things to make the car go

I got a 1964 Dodge Dart in 1986 and I loved it. I drove that car for 7 wonderful years. Until I lost it in an accident. I miss it and if I could I would get another one. Love from Marysville, California

[@lightmarker3146]

What a great collection of past automotive advertising 👏

[@captainkeyboard1007]

I miss some of these commercials because they were broadcast only in the West coast, and I have been living on the East coast all my life. These commercials are great and I really missed them. The commercials I missed were probably aired in the East coast before I was born in 1953. I enjoyed the cartoon, "In My Old Oldsmobile." These shows are only fantastic!

[@talon1706]

The owners manuals back then told you how to adjust the points and other mechanical things. Today they warn people not to drink the anti freeze coolant.

[@bobsebring3377]

Thanks! This is great.

[@carl77242]

Great commercial I saw it back in my days 👍😊

[@JJJBRICE]

At 1:26 Pat Boone makes a vague reference to Amos N Andy during his Chevy commercial . That was a long time ago !

[@thegreenbird795]

The car commercials i really remember were the ones filmed in Monument Valley at the top of a rock spire....

[@CamaroAmx]

Jeep used to do commercials there into the 2000s.

[@waynemarcotte1654]

Cal Worthington.....lol

[@lestersabados1306]

Cougars are the best looking car ever. I had a 68. It snapped in1/2. I went to Florida and got a mint 69.

[@MrEyesof9]

1:19:36 said no woman EVER!

[@daleanderson1727]

thnx 4 sharing

[@thegreenbird795]

64 dollar monthly payments on a new Camaro......DAMN!

[@m.woodsrobinson9244]

She paid less for that damned car than people today pay for cell phone service!

[@lightmarker3146]

That was a weeks pay back then. Plus insurance.

[@CamaroAmx]

@@lightmarker3146$64 is equal to 650 today. But minimum wage was a $1.40 which is equal to $13 today with inflation.

[@lightmarker3146]

@@CamaroAmx minimum wage varied from state to state. It was 1.65 in Massachusetts for a few years in the late 60s then 2.00 when I graduated from high school in 72 . After the first gas crisis in 73 things changed forever , hard times for years . Merry Christmas Eve

I’ll take 4

[@jamesmitchell8922]

Hoping to find the singing commercial of 4 different kinds of Chevrolet as seen on Clive James on TV.

[@fairfaxcat1312]

Is that Boone selling Chevys at 1:08?

[@tammycannady398]

Yup!

[@fromthesidelines]

He had his own TV series, "THE PAT BOONE CHEVY SHOWROOM" (1957-'60).

[@doowaditti]

I think Corvairs were great and Nader was full of it.

[@kentclark6420]

I think Nader was right on, and Corvairs were full of it.

[@kirkthejerkthe1st]

They changed the suspension on them after a couple of years which fixed the problem but not their reputation.

[@SputnickSpooner-jg5gi]

That was definitely your father's Oldsmobile.

[@ChrisDragotta]

70 dollars a month, in 1967 is about 650, and they talked about it like it was for a school teacher. Makes no sense. Unless they also were paying people more. Amazing.

[@CamaroAmx]

Your car loan was only for like a year though. And buying power back then was far greater. You might of made $100 a week. Minimum wage was $1.40. Equal to $13 an hour today with inflation.

[@Brianscoronet]

Teachers made 10K a year in 1969, Salem Oregon

[@Mr.Frost181]

Clean Bel-Air

[@paulradice3534]

Chevrolet till the end Always

[@MrEyesof9]

Imagine if they had continued manufacturing all them turbo transmissions and turbo-fire engines

[@SputnickSpooner-jg5gi]

Only Madison Avenue could tell you the 58 Chevrolet is much better than the all time favorite 57.

[@DrQandtheGang]

when software in the 80'S AND 90'S BEGAN an industry , Microsoft taught the sales folks that letting people hack with your product and do their own engine work should not be tolerated....and so now, with the new auto computers, no one is allowed to hack their own vehicle or steal corporate property, the warranty agreement sacks that....your body with medical industry tools, the same will happen to your body. You won't be able to alter it any way you like without prior insurance authorization...yeah, logic it out peeps.

[@CamaroAmx]

Interesting enough, the 3 stooges made very little on their movie shorts. The studio lied to them and claimed they weren’t super popular or made any money. Most of the money the stooges made was from public appearances and touring shows. They never got a raise the entire time they did their shorts (15 years). They even made very little off the movies.

For godly sorrow worketh repentance to salvation not to be repented of: but the sorrow of the world worketh death. (2 Corinthians 7:10) The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. (2 Peter 3:9) And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commandeth all men every where to repent: (Acts 17:30)
