      It worked on my big sister. She was a Farrah, Donna Mills blonde fembot. She bought a 77 Cougar two tone (white with red rockers). Stunning car, great interior. She drove like the ubiquitous spy girl of the era. Speedometer numbers stopped at 85, but the needle wound around anyway (I'm guessing 100 to 110 on back roads).
      It got flooded the next year and she traded it on for a Trans Am Bandit special without the screaming chicken decal.
      My little brother (16) totalled it.

    Dinah Shore was the BEST ambassador for GM and especially the Chevrolet division of anyone who was ever their spokesperson. "See the USA in your Chevrolet" is a true icon of Americana during the 1950's thru the 1960's! And, she would also be the best ambassador for selling a "Time Machine" that would teleport us (me) back to that era of America. If I could go back then I'm sure that I'd make it a one way trip!

    The ad with Jack Benny for AMC was the most entertaining but had the ugliest cars. One year later AMC had the Javelin, which I still think is a nice looking car. I like that thing in the ad about those being "now" cars, I remember in the '60s stuff would be advertised as being "now" and "what's happening". I seem to remember an ad with the slogan, "It's new, it's now, it's wow!"
    I have to admit to expecting an ad in this compilation featuring "rich Corinthian leather" and you-know-who, but no big deal.
    My all-time favorite celebrity car ad (but it was in the '80s) was the Peugeot ad with Ray Charles driving one of their cars on the Bonneville salt flats. ruclips.net/video/zZ5dggGpq-Q/видео.html

    1977 didnt have CGI. In that Mercury Cougar commercial...Farrah Fawcett was ACTUALLY sitting in a car with a live cougar.
    That's pretty brave. I dont care if that cat is trained or not. That cougar could always turn on her.

    Miss Dinah Shore, with her crinolines and eighteen button gloves, introducing the 1958 Chevrolet. She was an elegant and stylish lady. When she was a child, she was struck with polio. She recovered, but had a deformed foot and limp for the rest of her life. With that in mind, I can imagine sitting with Dinah on her front porch in McMinnville, Tennessee having a glass of sweet tea. I think that's why she had a career that spanned many decades. With her elegance and stylishness, she had a "down-home" quality about her, and I'm sure that's the way she was.

    I was enjoying these commercials and thinking how we used to hate commercials and still do but yet will watch the old ones. Until I saw that OJ Simpson. I wonder he could run so quick and clear Nicole's place. One glove they find at the scene and the other glove they find out his place. Look at his hand what do you have on his hand because the glove cannot slip over it. To think at one time he was an inspiration including to myself! A big guy like that who can run jump and have great athletic abilities. I don't blame them for using him in their commercials at the time. But to show them again now? I like the Farrah fawcett commercial
