Buick - Classic Commercials (1950’s 1960’s)

This video, courtesy of Ira H. Gallen (tvdays.com), provides a look at some of the classic Buick commercials from the 1950’s and 1960’s. Many stars of the day (i.e., Milton Berle, etc.) contributed to the sponsorship of Buick during this era. Sit back and enjoy this walk down memory lane!

Lord cars were beautiful back then compared to the styles today. With so many design features. Strong, durable and power for the roads of the day

[@NaNa-kj2gw]

but modern cars can dust that car on the road for a fraction of gas consumption, while also being quieter, cleaner, smoother, and longer lasting on average.

I grew up in Buicks! 1955 Super's were my favorite!

[@piperinman687]

BWAHAHAHA the last one is sexiest as all get out! I sell Buicks in East Tennessee at Chaparral Buick GMC. My dad was a Buick dealer in the 1980s. I love these cars so much!

Great cars 24000 miles and they were done.

[@RockandrollNegro]

Very few Buicks were done at 24k miles. In fact, the first car that ever went past 100k miles was a 1910 Buick 10. The first car to hit half a million miles was a 1932 Buick Straight 8 OHV. The first documented million mile V8 engine was a Rover equipped with the Buick Aluminum V8. Buick had a reputation for being the best car you could buy that wasn't a Cadillac, and it had that reputation for a reason.

2 door blowfish with power steering

Lord Cars were Ugly back then compared to the styles today. And so basic. Heavy, durable, but underpowered compared to today's modern engines.

[@supersixjones8905]

Most people will disagree with you. Cars today all look the same.

You are a man without taste

[@jec1ny]

I am willing to concede that modern cars are superior in their engineering and in particular safety. But that's pretty much where it ends. I can't remember the last time I saw a new car and thought it had any style to it.

[@DH-jt1bw]

I don’t think they’re a lot safer change the headrest on the older car and that’s about all you have better for safety. These cars were like tanks somebody hit you, these cars are not a tin box cracker like the cars out today..plus have you driven an Acadia lately those motors are trash but, I would probably concede that the gas mileage if you can keep it running is a bit better. this old car back in those days only set your back $1000 compared to 40 K for trash these days. I don’t think so sonny boy. Yeah Got to get up before breakfast and do your reengineering all over again to beat the cars of yesteryear..

@@jec1ny Let's face it, they don't build classics anymore.
