With steaming tv I haven’t watched ad in years. It felt good to see, what you’ll call my favourite type of ad, a car ad.

Yeah thats a Telstar alright. Couldn't even outrun a human runner, accurate.

Who would have guessed that in 2023, after we all blocked or paid to get rid of ads, we'd be back watching them for nostalgia?? So many of these ads I remember from my childhood, such strong Déjà vu and nostalgia. I've digitized a few VHS so I know it's a pain, thanks for making this

So much optimism and aspiration in these commercials, sad looking back knowing what the future became. Especially how far Australian has fallen in the space of 30 years.

7:42 the classic aussie vehicle advertisment voice we all know

So much more effort put into the adverts, cinematic all of them, and they got Buz Aldrin to do the holden apollo advert. Effing amazing, a better time.

"Preeesh conshider!" takes me back 😂. Wasn't there a Mr Okimura used in ads back then too?

How could you leave out the Holden SS Thunder ad where it’s basically just a Ute doing donuts in a cyclone to Thunderstruck by AC/DC. It’s the most iconic Aussie car ad

I remember those days time flys.Its sad we don't manufacture cars any more.

You were right: the Holden Commodore was Australia’s best-selling car.

Ah yes, the days when car ads didn't treat their prospective buyers like idiots.

Even as a kid I realised how cars were styled after aircraft. From the fins of the '50s to the stark lines of the '80s. It's a shame SUV's are everywhere now. From blocking my vision when pulling out of a car-park to having overpowered headlights placed at head height. SUV's make every aspect of driving worse.

"When I think of the Apollo project, I can't help but marvel at the technology involved" Yes, right, take one mediocre Toyota and put Holden badges on it. Technological marvel!

I remember growing up in a Jackaroo. Still runs to this day

I remember a tv ad around 83 when I was around 8 , a car going over a cliff and smashing, and a cockotoo squarking at the same time .It's been haunting me for years as I can't think of what it was about .

More of these car ads pls!

I knew it was going to hurt that much, and I still watched it. To be fair, as a kid I had to get in and out of the back seat of the two door Holden Jackaroo LS. Doors are expensive, apparently? Unless it's a sports car, in which case they charge you more for two less doors. Also, to be fair again, it was a well constructed and capable 4WD vehicle. Basic, but that's everything by modern Ute standards.

Golden age of cars

Nice! . I've subbed and shared this to my channel 👍

Wow all these cars brought back some memories.

0:30 - My grandparents bought one of these in beige to replace their 1968 Falcon (which they kept, anyway.) One day, they were rear ended at 60 km/h...both seat squabs _snapped off at the base,_ leaving them staring at the ceiling! The car was a write off...good thing they still had a car to drive at home.

Car ads are always high quality

A very young William McInnes playing the part of a flog in the Mitsubishi Galant ad. 😂

those two mitsubishi adverts... wow!

Back when they made cars.

damn I love that Ford telstar one. epic music .so nostalgic

Virtually NO pedestrian killing Truckzillas.

Is that John Stanton doing some of the voice-overs?

Was that a young William McGuiness in the Mitsubishi Galant ad?

they really ran an ad with the tag line "Please consider"

Good stuff. Back in the day when we gave a toss for quality vehicles instead of the noncey overpriced throwaway trash we get these days.

Are there any Holden Jackaroo's left

Awesome Memories Just under $30k for that Holden Acclaim damn ! That’s a lot of money for that time. No wonder they struggled to sell when comparing to Toyota, Kia, Hyundai and Mitsubishi of its time They were better value and more affordable 😊

I used to work on the Mitsubishi when new. Imported cars were always way better than Aussie built.

Ironically those shitbox commodores are now worth more than their original selling price

Can you find the old commodore ads " there's nothing quite like a holden" ...please

I was Born too late to enjoy Holden :(

Magna and Galant are goated

In the day when people still believed that man has walked on the moon.

It's funny. We now have Adblockers to block ads.🤣

OMG, the prices of those cars back in the 1980s and 1990s! $27K+orc for a bland 4cyl Camry. Fondly remember the Gallant VR4, from a time when Japan was young and innovative. Less so the VR Acclaim, a complete and utter piece of junk with little Japanese-level build quality.

0:36 I didnt know driveless cars existed in 1986

Hard to watch makes me sad

It's quite the comparison to think that the engineers and manufactures could create these engineering marvels, yet this... this is the best the marketing department could come up with. Bill Hicks was right.

7:23 keeeeee-ya

Forgot the “one tonne rodeo”

Ford Telstar. You won't see many of them around these days.

LOL! Hey they didn"t tell us that the Ford Telstar was also autonomous!!!

5:16 Alf FLamin stewart

I want a galant vr4

my mum had a telstar

Nostalgic adds seem to bring out the worst in geriatric 2sm listeners, whinge, whinge, bloody whinge.

does anyone know the car ad starting at 8:36 it sounds lovely to me.

Mitsubishi Lancer, please consider

I pay more because I charge more.

Buzz endorsing a rebadged Camry is peak advertising

Oh how i miss my younger days..this country used to be a great place….now its a United Nations refugee camp….so sad

Not a great era for motor cars!

Now the marketing teams would be fired for a lack of gender queer 50 shades of brown body positive actors

sad to see Australia is going backward since 2008 , we really need good leaders , Tony and Malcolm were good , but they don't play political games , that is why they could not survive in Canberra .

Blew a few loads in my neighbours wife in their Commodore(s) over the years. Happy days

5:16 There's only one voice that could ever be...

Ford Telstar!! Beats pedestrians 80% of the time 😂😂

Buzz, you are lying straight to our faces. You are not a young man. For gods sake, tell the truth before your time comes.😊
