- Amoco petrol commercial from 1975 transferred from U-Matic videotape. Features a classic 1930s grey/silver automobile known in the ad as "The Escape Machine". The jingle was written and sung by Allan Johnston from HertzWalpole Advertising. Some years later he teamed up with Alan Morris to form advertising agency Mojo which would do jingles for many commercials in the 70s and 80s.
The tape containing this ad came from commercial director Barrie Smith's collection.
as a kid l use to remember these icon ADDS on tv,and never ever thought l would star in one myself that was an australian record breaking add,but l did,l was the actor that sang the jingle in the brian told me commercial circa 1986
You may have worked with a friend of mine on Prisoner; Peter Heath.
Brilliant ad, great, catchy song. Great sentiment as well - escape with someone you like in your escape machine. I still remember this ad and the song from all those years ago. Amoco sure had great ads. Wonder if any ads from today will be remembered - for the right reasons - in 40+ years time ....
Fantastic ads, highly cinematic. They were shown in full cinemascope in the cinemas at the time. You may remember Val Morgan cinema advertising.
This particular Amoco commercial is the short length television version. It was the first such commercial to be broadcast in color given the fact that 1975 was the year the national release of color broadcasting was launched. I remember it very well, since it had a significant novelty on me. I do remember now, I saw the long theatrical version which was shown during the pre feature advertising which preceded the movie "Picnic at Hanging Rock" (1975).
Wow - great ad. It's been over 30 years since I've seen this. Great quality! Thanks :-)
remember this advert. 42 years ago.
This commercial is also the short version made for television. If you can get hold of the long version made for the cinema, that would also be appreciated. I saw the long version of this ad at the State Theatre in Sydney when I went to see the Bruce Lee film "The Big Boss" back in 1975.
My Mum wouldn't allow me go go and see "The Way of the Dragon" later on, so I had to wait 10 years to see it on VHS.
Remember so well
The thing was back then Petrol came from 2 or 3 refineries. Supposedly the companies added things but Tanker drivers told me that was Bs. ( I worked in an old style garage as a kid).It’s different now the Petrol is different & some of it is very close to minimum requirements. Shell still refines as does Mobil in Melbourne but I believe a lot of petrol is bought on the spot market in places like Signapore.
Mobil Altona Refinery has been shutdown for about Two years.
@@markheaton5431 Has it. I remember going down there as a kid. Just paddocks & from memory lots of thistles.
Awesome 👌
Same dude that sang the Tooheys adds.
Does anyone k ow who sang this jingle? I’ve heard the same voice on so many.
Who the hell owns this car now?!!!😳a 1936 Packard?
Wheres the advert, when they drive and stop to see a old car just rust really and then transforms into a brand new car?
This one? ruclips.net/video/w4yHgjX75ys/видео.html. Was in love with this ad as a kid.(EDIT) That's strange, I just noticed you'd commented under that ad 5 years before your comment here... you must have forgotten you'd seen it, I guess.
What an irritating song.
