Incredible. Were we ever really like that? In 1959, what did people think and feel when they saw commercials like this? Did they actually respond and think that this was cool?
I love old cars, by the way; I’m just befuddled by the commercial. Two minutes of a quartet singing about a car—!

Chevy? Bleh. Move up a bit in the world. This is what I tool around during the summer.

Just look at that opulent interior.

And yeah, I do own Chevy's. A '73 and '74 Caprice Estate Wagons and a '69 Camaro RS. They are still cheap feeling cars in comparison to my Buicks, Olds and Pontiacs.

*sigh* If only we were still like that. Thanks for posting this. I really enjoyed it.

Those old Chevy commercials were a hoot. LOL! My, how times have changed.
Gimme metal all around me, gimme chrome, gimme an engine with "grunt".
Me and my engagement "ring", Baby. Better than a diamond ANY day. Pic taken at a cruise-in earlier this year.

I own a 1957 Bel Air I’m restoring. That’s close to the last time they made real cars.

I long for the days when you could open up the hood of the car and be able to name everything you see and explain what it does. And you have the tools to remove and replace it and the elbow room to do it.
