Based on the city skyline in the opening seconds of this commercial, I'm pretty sure this commercial was filmed in Los Angeles.
I wonder if the building used was home to a branch office of Mobil??

They also ran many newspaper and magazine ads with the same campaign.

Studebaker hubcaps must really have been held on well!

I wonder if modern cars still need 366 feet to stop at 60 mph? I always remember the rule of thumb-- 1 car length for every 10 miles of speed. It seems to have worked, because the only crash I ever got in was a guy pulling in front of me while I was travelling at 60 mph and he was going about 15 mph, and there was no way I could stop in time. I even recall like it was just this morning thinking "good God, I'm gonna hit this guy!". The CHiPs blamed the other guy for the crash, as well as three witnesses who pulled over on my behalf. (I must be the only woman who gets nostalgic over car crashes)
