I love the old school song in the very beginning……the sound pitch just
goes up and down until just right for the rest of the commercial!

Dark Perez Studios says:

Watcher3223 says:

1:05 “Those headlights are what get me.” LOL Those are standardized
circular sealed beam units! I guess he’s easily amused.

@smithraymond09029 hey i never got laid… what are you trying to say! 🙂

mustang633NY says:

@TheAmericanCanadian safety is mentioned because it has an automatic
transmission which was thought of as safer because…. as the girl asked
“no gears to shift?”

puppetmaster983 says:

You don’t say… And then- huh? 🙂

lol dude at 1:24, she was flirting with you you nerdy fucker, she wanted to
lubricate your crankshaft dumbass but then you blew it and got a dismissive
“you don’t say”.

quiet woman, the men are talking..

bettydaw1970 says:

any idiot that has to have the latest greatest whatever should be required
to watch this!!! well maybe not, those guys are good for our economy..

slushh says:

The most “dynamic-futuramic” thing about this video is that it’s in color!
I used to have several tapes of old car commercials, and they were almost
all in black & white, well into the 1960s.

Ross Ewage says:

interesting that Olds introduced Futuramic styling in ’48, but Chevrolet,
Pontiac, and Buick waited ’til ’49 to come out with that body style.

Fedcospeed says:

How about a 49 303 in my 47 fastback??

Cole Walker Acquafondata says:

i wish that WAS the car of tomorrow 🙁 cars will never be as creative and
artistic as they used to.

Austin Kloud says:

@SirReal1958 well I thought she meant grand theft…. just getting in it
and driving away. Thats called car jacking….. 🙂

mysticmrsam says:

an automatic transmission.. before Ford or Chevrolet

Russell042 says:

i like when the dude goes, “the headlights are what get me”

hullinger says:

Ha, ha, ha, he said lubrication. Ha, ha, ha

mrnobody89 says:

Well, in all techicallity, I guess that was the “car of tomorrow.” Today
just happen to be the “car of the day after tomorrow”

84cubangirly says:

geez people always talk shit about everything…at least they lived in good
times those decades were beautiful, not this times we are living now with
stupid music,stupid people,stupid president…etc,etc,etc

forestgreen98 says:

schneidee06 says:

“The car of Tamara”

bored1980 says:

“Safety’s important” Then you’ll be delighted with this car’s safety
features, such as a rear view mirror. That is all.

Harvey030547 says:

Brilliant footage. WOW! what would those showroom cars be worth today 60
years on? Thanks for posting.

Organgrinder1010 says:

Quaint how there are so many words and so little genuine information!

Austin Kloud says:

“You can backseat drive there in solid comfort.” – Now just wait a cotton
picking minute there pal!

Carl Aquino says:

“You don’t say”

jscottj55 says:

At around 2:00 it looks a lot like ‘Superman’ in the driver’s seat (Steve
Reeves) –

Jim Tavenner says:

The car of “ta-marrah”?
