Corny. Too many syllables are shoehorned into the tune. Awkward. I do lament the Steve Colbert-style cynicism which killed jingles. People are too suspicious of institutions, including government, religion, corporations, and journalism for jingles to work.

I have no idea why but I just love the 59 Chevys....I see one and I always smile: just love the totally radical design, and that they weren't afraid to have those sweeping lines and crazy rear end !!! Belisimo...
The bizarre styling of the 1959 is charming beyond rationality. I drove many miles in an absolute bottom of the line, 2-door, six cylinder 1959; the only option was powerglide. Terrific drive in car.
I remember seeing Dinah Shore downtown in Chicago at the Illinois Center. She had on a black fur coat and boots and must have been in her 60's. She looked beautiful.
I was 8 years old when the '59 Chevy was introduced in 1958...I thought they were the most beautiful car I had ever seen...back then I knew the model of every car I saw because they were all American made and a rare Volkswagen was seen now and then or maybe a Jaguar but the road was owned by American big fin cars...wonderful era in my mind...or maybe I was looking at the world as an 8 year old...everything is new and there was no bad stuff. I sure was never afraid to go to school in fear of being shot that is for certain. Sunday was church and early family dinners.
And what a novel idea back then. I was 4 in 1959, and the majority (or all) of the goods we bought were made in the USA! My dad had a 1960 Chevrolet Impala 2 door hardtop. Man, he really loved that car.
@@keithdukes5990 Absolutely agree. The big corporations and the politicians sold this country out. Now a huge portion of consumer goods have been exported to the US for years. And now the politicians are bitching and complaining about China’s rise to economic, military, and political influence in the world; something that the US Government & US big business helped to create. During the 50s through early 70s, my dad was the soul breadwinner and mom stayed home with four children. We were middle class, dad worked a 9-5 M-F middle management job. Dad bought an acre of land in the suburbs (1952) and built a new house with a detached garage, we wanted for nothing, but not rich by any means. There were always 2 cars in the garage. Dad paid off the 20 year mortgage in 1972, luckily before things started going to hell in our country. Now, it’s a totally different situation for parents today. The American middle class is all but dead, and the American Dream along with it. What a sorrowful shame it is when I look back at the times in which I was raised.
Always have been a GM/Chevy family. Classic cars are the best back in the day but still loyal to the Chevrolet brand. Built strong. Hope to one day restore my parents '62 Bel Air & brother's '59 Bel Air to its classic originality but change the interior to the vintage 2 tone look just like the 57 Chevys once had. My current Chevrolet has that 2 tone interior as well.
Yeah I know they only talk about fuel economy and safety. No wonder they don't talk about design anymore, because all cars look boring now. I remember Cadillac used to talk about style all the time, but not anymore.

@@alphasigmasezon8597 I would be very happy driving an old plain Jane Rambler with a straight six or a Plymouth Valiant with a slant six engine. An automobile that I could work on and no computer chips holding up my slant six from running.
Juan Boucquez I am European, and I prefer american cars, our french cars don't have any personnality, German and Italian cars are nice, but my heart will still beat for american 50's beauties, like the wonderful '59 Chevy, the most beautiful car ever made for me...
I like the new cars but i still love the old ones. I remember the folks next door had a black on black '59 Impala and we had a '57 Ford the same color. They looked cool as heck next to one another. We weren't alone, the folks across the street had a mint green '53 Buick Skylark conv. That place was great for a young car nut in the '50s.
My grandmother used to live near the gate at Allis Chalmers in West Allis Wisconsin, when employees were leaving their shift we used to count the 59 Chevys that were leaving, just about every other car was a 59 Chevy.
Corny as this commercial seems in todays world you are right about how the future will look back on 2016 and say the same thing. Hard to fathom but it is true.
I own a 1959 Bel Air just like the one the newlywed couple is driving. It rides and drives like a dream. I wish I could find a white '59 Impala and remake the commercial. Of course with different singers.
The PA State Police had trouble with the 1959 Chevy (probably the Biscayne or BelAir because they were cheaper than the Impala - but had the same body) keeping on the road at very high speeds. The rear end had a lot of "lift" from the tail design and they got kind of floaty when going full-throttle down the highway. Still, they were beautiful cars. I always thought the back end resembled the Batmobile. LOL!
Google says: 1962 was the first year they were available as a factory option (#148)... could be ordered for just the driver or for driver and passenger. From 1956-1961 they were a dealer installed accessory. The 1958 Corvette was the first model to have seat belts as standard equipment.
My dad had a 55 Chevrolet 210. He took it somewhere. Had seat 💺 belts put in. I used them on my first car. 1976 Pontiac Grand Le Man's. Dad got me in the habit. They saved my life. In 2000. A head on collision. I was in a Park Avenue. She was in a T Bird. She broke her leg. I broke my foot. Air Bags, seat belts. Kept us alive. I know that. She crossed over one lane too many.
I take it that commercial was on the Dinah Shore Chevy Show on NBC back in the late Fifties. Love the melodic selling approach, which I miss with car commercials. Everything now is visual with no jingle. How sad.
It was probably from the show. Color TV Commercials were rare in the late 1950s, but her show was one of the first to be broadcast in color. NBC was owed by RCA which was the first to mass market color television.
That's what I thought. Furthermore, I believe when Bonanza moved from Saturday nights to Sunday nights in '61, Chevrolet replaced RCA as it's sponsor. In turn, RCA began sponsoring Walt Disney's Wonderful World of Color that same fall on NBC.
Why can't Detroit make cars that resemble those of yesteryear on the outside,but have today's electronics under the hood?I refuse to believe that it can't be done.Today's cars all look the same.
In those days,you walked down the street and knew what make and year was every car.Today,many mechanics can't tell the difference.We're back in Henry Ford's days-and there's no reason for it except perhaps Democratic mandated fuel standards.
Funny. You haven't been paying attention to how Americans always want the latest automobiles around. I thought the some of the 2016 cars wouldn't sell, but the actually sold a lot of units and I've seen a lot on the streets and highways.
I see downthread it was filmed at Palos Verde peninsula.. thanks. Dinah Shore was still over 10 years away from her romance w/Burt Reynolds. That would have put her in her mid-50s, Burt in his 30s.
Did Dinah Shore have a contract with Chevy for a while?? My uncles both managed a Chevy dealer from the early 50s through to the 1980s and they gave my mom a record album that was a promo from Chevy given only to people who bought brand new Chevys in the early 60s & Dinah Shore was on it along with other music and singers.
what happened to all this cool stuff? this is nice, its not so wicked as the ads today. I used to have a 59 chev 4 dr, never finished it, traded it for a golf car. thanks for posting
Any car that had fins like the 59 Chevy can't be all bad. Shame all cars today have to look the same. I saw a new Ford Taurus the other day and thought it was a Buick. Now, to me, the issue isn't brand recognition, it is which brand was insulted.
@jab287 if your car is pre 1965(possibly 63 not sure of the exact year) then it is not required because most cars before that time were not manufactured with seat belts. you can have them installed now if you want. but it is not required by law in a car that old. unless your worried about your own safety :D
The main car in the commercial, white Impala cabriolet is the very same model and even color as the one that Christine Jorgensen used to drive and it is in a photo that hangs in my office in a transgender support NGO... I love that car.
Lately, I've been obsessing over classic cars but I recently saw that 59 Bel Air collision with the 2009 Malibu and It's very sobering. I would still love to have a classic though.
That's mostly relevant for cars with X frames. I don't want to suggest that other models from the 50s are that much safer though, the truth is they have steel dashboards most of the time and the seats would shear out of the floor which is not a pretty sight; I looked at a lot of fatality photos.
@Travhouse This is almost laughably untrue.Cars today are far more durable. In the 50s they all rusted out, needed valve jobs after 40,000 miles and were unsafe. Today's cars are much, much safer and reliable. I'm afraid nostalgia has fogged your memory.

Are you somewhere up above
And I am still your own true love
What was it you were looking for
that took your life that night
They said they found my high school ring
clutched in your fingers tight
Teen angel, can you hear me
Teen angel, can you see me
Ohhh Ohhh wooo!
