CBS commercial breaks - December 30, 1973

[@LannieLord]

You can ALWAYS tell when a clump of commercials come from a SPORTS broadcast : TIRE / GAS / OIL commercials , and NO commercials for ladies or kids.

[@59plexi]

i love watching these.....i drift away from the madness of 2021.......

[@LindaMerchant-bq2hp]

And 2024

[@Zoomer30]

My God, that was a mid size car? Looked like a boat. Huge.

[@kingporter67]

Very good commercials from December 30, 1973!!

[@70sbbqfreak74]

I was exactly 3 1/2 years old when these aired,wish I could go back and start over again 🙏🏻

[@michaelsharpe8246]

I was 7 years old 😊

[@teresahooks3746]

I was 10 years old

[@rkmugen]

Every now and then, I often post how much I wish I was living in the late 1960's through the late 1970's.... but then Johnny Cash reminds us all of how very real the gas/energy shortage was. :(

[@b3j8]

Late reply but, yeah, the energy shortage yrs WERE rough. But then again, I remember sev yrs before when stations would have gas wars. People would eagerly await the lowest price a station would go to get(keep) your business! Even for a kid who only needed a gallon to mow afew yards. hey, a couple cents was a couple cents.

[@firstptr3and10_]

I remember there were many many trees. Trees everywhere. I miss all those trees. Where an abandoned mall now stands, a fprest once was .

[@pattibrooks1907]

Loved the old commercials of the 2000s 90s 80s 70s 60s 50s 40s and of today s !!

[@veelalynne]

3:00 Johnny Cash on the energy crisis. The young squirts today have no idea what a pain in the butt the energy crisis was.

[@fscap811]

vela lynne odd/even days, long lines at the pump, days with no gas at all and the price of gas sky rocketing.

2022: hold my coffee

[@veelalynne]

@@timdailey2690 I know, right? I was so innocent 3 years ago...if I only knew what was coming...

[@timdailey2690]

@@veelalynne same here. And for reference I was 6 in 1973. 👍

[@pattibrooks1907]

Love commercials of every decade !

[@luisreyes1963]

Really? 🤨

[@shellybellysf3911]

A Ford maverick, don’t see many of those around anymore. Cheap transportation and people drove them into the ground. Way better then the pinto. Around the 7 minute mark for STP.

[@horseathalt7308]

Mavrick was a very decent and reliable mid size car .

[@danschreffler1280]

Car commercials of the 1970s: "Nice seats, rear view mirrors and shifter knob (please don't ask what's under the hood)"

[@luisreyes1963]

No wonder so many Japanese & German cars were bought. 🚗

[@christinaharris5087]

rip johnny cash 1932 -2004

[@elsamarie4963]

An ad for Papillon!!

[@brentmann2988]

13:18 it's not a 70s commercial compilation without the voice of the great Peter Thomas.

[@johnxaviere]

Awesome commercials thank you

[@tm100pct7]

Man those cars...

[@Foxonian]

I think this may have been the last year that cigar ads could still be shown on TV before they were banned.

[@johnpastore7685]

1976 they were banned

[@floridagator1765]

Dad worked for the equitable back then.

[@fscap811]

Isn't that actor Dane Clark in the Goodyear tire commercial?

[@fromthesidelines]

YES.

[@TimelordR]

The Ford Pinto, my dad told me it's a "Claymore mine with wheels". And Colombia no longer grows tobacco, just thought i'd share that with my fellow KZbinrs.

[@PhaQ2]

There was a bit of a design flaw that validates your dad's concerns about the Pinto. When in a severe rear impact accident, the fuel filler neck would push through the bottom of the tank and spill fuel onto the hot exhaust.

[@chickypooh73]

[@tamumalone1718]

Vertical hold please😄😎📺

[@zaq55]

No - twist the nob the other way. There it is.

[@ChadtheHammer]

Johnny Cash: "Slow down on the highways." *speed limit rises by 20 mph*

[@Mike-rp8ev]

WOW I just turned 9 years old

[@timdub70]

Ford Mustang II-Look what they've done to my car! They put a Mustang body on a Pinto! 1974 was the only year the Mustang didn't have a V8 option.

[@FawleyJude]

It was a really dismal change to the Mustang.

[@Cjnw]

170 000 miles, about 275 000 kilometers

[@FlavioGirl]

wasnt that richard hatch in the muriel commercial?

[@dlsofsetx]

My 16th birthday.

[@jondstewart]

13:50, back when Schlitz was a decent beer in the same category as Bud or Miller. For the past 40 years it’s been complete garbage that makes PBR look like craft beer.

[@smittykins]

The Eveready Alkaline eventually became Energizer, IIRC.

[@horseathalt7308]

I didnt know that the alkaline battery was even around back in 1973. I didnt notice them until the late 70s at the earliest

[@turbolivesinmyheart6328]

Man, I didn't think this commercial break was ever going to end. That's sarcasm by the way.

[@paulcheek5711]

that pinto is now full size very sad

[@Cjnw]

3:42 - Did he say Jesus !! :P \ " Shortage eases "

[@BigSCTVfan]

Seeing Johnny Cash do oil company commercials really hasn’t aged well for his legacy.

[@rick2340atyahoocom]

Stupid comment

[@BigSCTVfan]

@@rick2340atyahoocom Being a shill for big oil isn’t very progressive.

[@rick2340atyahoocom]

Which is why he did the commercial since he wasn’t stupid

[@dlsofsetx]

Are Muriel or Dutch Masters cigars still made?

[@luisreyes1963]

Yes, both are still available where cigars are sold.

Bank commercials, save energy commercials seem familiar? Yep, we were in a recession and heading into a depression just like now. The dollar is about to tank and banks are going to fail, soon. Be ready.
