1965 Chevrolet TV Commercial
Maybe if we all went back to the good old days and our good old ways, life would be much better today. Yeah, I'm sure you young bucks are thinking, man, that sure was corny. We had longer commercials, better television programs and no cable or satellites. Sure, things were simpler but at least we weren't slammed with Viagra Commercials at dinner time or tampon commercials. Oh, guess what, we didn't have any side effects back in the 1960's either. Oh well, enjoy the commercial and we hope it brings back some fond memories.

TV was better in the 60s? Was that before or after David Sarnoff called it, "A vast wasteland"?
As Billy Joel wrote,"the good ol' days weren't always good and tomorrow ain't as bad as it seems."
Keep the faith, Joe.
That was back in the days before the liberals took over California and Hollywood.
For the last 30 years there has been a drum beat campaign to rid the planet of big corporations especially car companies. The liberals have denigrated and demonized everything about the American auto business, and have legislated them to near extinction with ridiculous laws that primarily hurt the American car companies while having little or no effect on the imports.
I remember taking a trip when I was a kid in a brand new 1967 Impala. The car was equipped with an 8 track player, and the only tape we had was “Welcome to Chevrolet by Loren green”.
Those days are long gone. Soon you will not have a choice but to buy a car designed by some Asian national that doesn't know anything about American culture and what it meant to be an American.
I feel your pain regarding the tampon and Viagra commercials. My "favorite" is the pregnancy test product advertised as "the most advanced technology you'll ever pee on." Nice. Classy, that.
It seems to me that one reason prescription medication prices are so high is that we are paying for their advertising! So now, I guess we diagnose ourselves and go tell the doctor which medication we want for it?
pretty cool.
Wow I remember this commercial. Just think the next year (I BELIEVE) was the first in dash eight track offered. Man how did we survive with out power steering, AC, 200 watt sound systems and air bags?
What a huge smile I have.
As a mother of four, I love not being able to find something everyone wants to watch because there are 200 choices. No one ever wants to watch the same thing but we all agree that we don't want to see the drug commercials with the long lists of side effects, the constant burger kind/mcd's commercials, and the viagra/tampon/truth about cigarettes commercials.
