What? No Ricardo Montalban talking about the Chrysler Cordoba with the rich Corinthian leather commercial? That was a 70's classic.

I'm 68 years old and I've never seen a Dodge charger Daytona that looks like that, thank goodness.

Thumbs down for no AMC representaion!!!! No Buick Opel?

8:14 ... the 79 Firebird was nice but sorry the recessed headlights were definitely a step down from the 1977-78 Trans Am with its distinctive and iconic front grille that was the peak for that car..

I DON'T TO SEE THIS, I HAVÈ HAVE A FEW OF THESE IN MY STABLE, MINT LIKE NEW, LUCKY OĹ MAN!! idiots that 1976 Dodge Charger was a Chrysler Cordoba POS! The legendary Challenger & Cuda died as K - cars. The Camero ( name made up just like 'Corinthian Leather') was not at all a hugger, the WIDE TRACK PONTIAC (Firebird & T/A) were the true road warriors, the ROADBRUNNERB died off as the Dodge Aspin etc. etc. I could go on and on but to little time. The whole Muscle Car era lasted but 14 short years, sorry if ya missed it because the GOVERNMENT, EPA & INSURANCE TYRANTS pulled the plug on the greatest cars in world history.

I was surprised to see that I owned the number 1 and 2 cars shown. I sold the Torino to get the 280 Z, then the 280ZX 2+2. The Datsun was my favorite. Nice driving car. I don’t see that model around at shows. Too bad.

At 1:01 I didn't see a stop or yield sign, but there was a stop line on the road. The car made a "Califorina Rolling Stop" though the intersection... not something you should do (breaking a law) in a commercial.

It looks like little has changed with Land Rover since then. What about the Cadillac Catera? You know, “The Caddie that zigs” - the weakest marketing ploy in automotive history.

What a crock of shite!! I have owned and own Discovery 1s for years now. All your claims are BS.

I remember going to a Pontiac dealer with my dad to test drive the firebird in 1982. Drove around for about 10 minutes got back to the dealer and this brand new car died and wouldn't crank. We left and bought a celica.

That Peugeot look like bugatti 😂

Wow...car commercials that are actually about...the CARS???

The Pontiac Sunfire was nothing more than a rebadged Gen-2 Chevy Cavalier, so, its no wonder the car had numerous problems.

I miss my 1970 Mach 1.Got it in ‘84 after I got out of prison for 2.5.Ahhhh good times!

Had a freind that had a 1976 Charger Daytona with a 426 Hemi in it 😳 727 Torqueflight , Dana 60 with 355 gears . Killer Cruiser " luxury with sleeper power "

Who knew Boss Hog was in a Challenger commercial.

The photos of the RED mustang are NOT a 1970, it a 1969. Two headlights on 69, four on a 70. Also the taillights are different. The red one in the commercial is a 70. I owned one of each. Thanks for the trip down memory lane.

Well done vid. Good stuff. The archival footage was clearer than expected 👍🏽

The late 70d cars were junk.

Nicely done! (3:08) That's famous actor Lloyd Bridges!

My first car, a 1974 Dodge Charger SE, I bought in 1978 for $1850 with 46,000 miles on it. It had a 400 4-barrel and got 12 mpg. I loved it! Hindsight being what it is, I wish I would have kept it. I stupidly assumed there'd always be cars like that being made. Biggest wrong idea I had was they'd see the error of turning a Charger into a Cordoba and bring back the Coke bottle fenders by the end of the decade or early 80's. But instead we got Lido and the K-Cars.

Last decade for mainstream chrome bumpers.

„When times were simple“ aka peak of cold war 😂

Funny I don't remember there being a 1978 Datsun 28ZX! First ZX was in '79! The Camaro would have been a '701/2 since there was a strike at the Camaro plant1

The first car I bought was a 1969 Dodge Charger R/T 440 mag with Hurst 4 speed manual with the Trac-Pak.

The memories trick us. The 70’s were a horrible time. People know Vietnam is senseless but will get drafted for 2-1/2 more years! Cars get 10 miles to the gallon and there’s an energy crisis. Dr. King and RFK were shot a couple years prior. Nixon’s flooding the streets with heroin Minimum wage is about $1.50 an hr

The dodge Daytona was ugly

We only worried about nuclear war back then Glad we do not have to worry about that .

Daewoo is GM in. South Korea,,just wondering if the Holden Commodore a remake of a Chevy or a Pontiac,,you guys remember the Opel GT ( baby Corvette)

I grew up then, but to them beautiful is a stretch! I bought a brand new Pontiac Trans Am with that eagle on the hood. Fun times though!

That yellow Chrysler in the header was quite popular actually

The Pinto

Was the Banshee not used in the last original Knightrider show as the Knight 2000? It was to replace K.I.T.T.

The 70’s, when cars were cars and women proudly kept their welcome mats

I'm still rockin' the early 2nd gen Camaro in 2024 and I haven't aged one bit. Truth in advertising!

Wow, that Grenada looked EXACTLY like a Mercedes. Hahahahaha. FoMoCo must think their target audience are a bunch of idiots. And well, they were. Because that Granada sold 300,000 units in 1975 alone.

Wait , they are still making the same Mustang.

The Mercury Bobcat/Ford Pinto all-glass hatchback was super cool looking.

The original Mustang was way better than that 1970 monstrosity. I like the Mustang ll way better. Charlie's Angels drove that one.

That sheriff in the Dodge Challenger R/T ad does a great job imitating Sheriff Buford T. Justice in Smokey and the Bandit played by Jackie Gleason

The x90 was cool

0:20 "It's advertised on TV, so you know it's good"

Pontiac aztek where was it

The best part of these commercials wasn't the vehicles, it was the commercial itself. They had music, energy, upbeat excitement. Today's car commercials are about cup holders and kids in the back seat staring at their phones.

The Datsun 280ZX is a '79, not a '78!

👍

The Datsun 280zx was a step back from the 280z heavier,slower,uglier

Starting in 71, all junk!

Love that new dodge charger for under $4000.00 paid double that for a 15 year old Hyundai.

Times were never simpler.
