That was really fun to watch! I love the singing and dancing and their outfits but I forgot it was supposed to advertise the car about half way in. Me and my short 21st century attention span :S

This was back in the day when commercials for products that sponsored TV shows were written right into the TV shows.

My dad used to drive a 1966 Pontiac Parisienne. That thing was massive. It's got nothing on the car in this commercial, though. In that second-to-last shot, the people look like little dolls or something.
I was never around for commercials like this but they have a such charm. I supposed they'd get boring if I was inundated with them but I wish someone would do an ad campaign like this. Not tongue in cheek but completely earnest.
