Fantastic Find! Great car and Dabney Colman is a great actor too!! great commercial!!!

[@JoseMorales-lw5nt]

To think, Mr. Coleman was just 30 when he fimed this commercial! On January 3rd, 2023, he will be 91! Yup, here's to the only man cool enough to host SNL.on Halloween... with Elvira as a guest, too! Happy Birthday!!!

It amazes me how much Coleman,Bob Crane,& Robert Conrad resembled each other during this time period!

My grandmother had a 62 Classic 400. I remember it was a nice car, with plenty of power and seat belts in all seats. Head it for 4 years and traded it in in a 66 Ambassador.

In the good ol' days, when you didn't expect instant gratification (unless you were paying cash for the car). You'd go into the dealer on a Friday night or Saturday, apply for financing, and cross your fingers that when the bank opened up on Monday they'd give you a "Thumbs Up"!

0:50, and they do their own stunts.

His wife is played by Jean Hale (they were married at the time).

[@tomservo56954]

+7pledger Were they still married in 1971, when "Mr. and Mrs. Dabney Coleman" appeared in an ad for the Mercury Marquis (the ride was so smooth they could have tea in the back seat)

[@7pledger]

+Paul Duca According to the Internet Movie Database, they were married from 12/11/61 to 12/4/84.

I can imagine them wearing each other out...

[@skcarter2009]

Cool! I've never seen a Rambler commercial for this particular year.

[@breedlove94]

This commerical is first rate

[@jonathangrant3620]

1962 Ramber Classic 400 was a fantastic car, one of the best. Terrific options of seatbelts and headrests.

[@ramblerclassic400]

I have one.

[@johnmolina3284]

Nice, haven't seen this one. And I certainly don't remember it!

[@brenthill3241]

War Games, Cloak and Dagger and of course Slap Maxwell!

[@jamesmcclelland1414]

And don't forget 9 TO 5, TOOTSIE and BUFFALO 🦬 BILL 💵, Brent.

[@FosterGrayPhoto]

Seeing him so upbeat here is so jarring, given he always played such unlikeable characters.

[@Telstar62a]

They probably went for about as much as a down payment is now...

[@jamesstuart3346]

Good spot 😂

[@tomservo56954]

I wonder if there places then where car dealers opened on Sunday.

Apart from those lousy vacuum wipers [well so many manufacturers have used them] they did something really strange, now Buick sold there V8 all alloy engine to Rover because they did not want to go to the expense of steel liners in an alloy block, but Rambler?? did just that and added [I think] a caste iron head. I saw the result in 2012 when my local mechanic took the head off one,no wonder it blew a head gasket, the steel was kinda still there but there was not much alloy to sit the head on, those were the days when we just used to fill the radiator with plain water, why they bothered with the alloy block I don' know,, what were the bean counters thinking?

[@allencrider]

Hilarious!
