It's a campy road trip down the memory lane of chrome when you view these Classic Car commercials from the 1950's and 60's. Ford presents "teletouch drive" when the new Edsel is introduced by Bing Crosby in 1958. You'll fill up with City Service Gasoline, Esso extra, Speedy 75 and witness the Super Shell "platformate" mileage test. Ford demonstrates the future of Power steering and Goodyear grips the road.

07:21Here's what
07:22Theothes
07:22THE END
07:58THE END
08:43Yes, fun to see, fun to drive, fun to buy.
08:49The New Chevrolet.
08:55The New Chevrolet.
08:58The New Chevrolet.
09:00The New Chevrolet.
09:00The New Chevrolet.
09:01The New Chevrolet.
09:01The New Chevrolet.
09:02The New Chevrolet.
09:17Some time ago, the Volkswagen people went to see one of Italy's most famous automobile designers.
09:33The New Chevrolet.
09:37The New Chevrolet.
09:39The New Chevrolet.
09:45They gave him this assignment.
09:50What changes would you recommend in the design of the Volkswagen?
09:58The New Chevrolet.
10:01The New Chevrolet.
10:14The New Chevrolet.
10:37Make the rear window larger.
10:38high above California's Mojave Desert. You're watching the end of an unusual test of Supershell
10:43gasoline, a mileage test that began more than three miles back. Each of those 10 cars started
10:48with exactly the same volume of gasoline. The five dark cars got gasoline we blended just like
10:53Supershell, but without one of its nine working ingredients, without Platformate, Supershell's
10:58mileage booster. The five white cars got exactly the same amount of Supershell with Platformate.
11:03The engines are as identical as engines can be. The cars started together, accelerated to 50,
11:07and have held that speed ever since. The cars have traveled over four miles. Now look, one dark
11:13car is out of fuel. So are the other dark cars. Every car without Platformate has run out of fuel
11:17and is
11:18slowing to a stop. Every car on Supershell with Platformate is getting extra mileage. Platformate
11:23is one of Supershell's nine working ingredients to make your car work better.
12:03more interesting. The film by then parade has reduced ответ prices to make your car work better.
12:19THE END
12:41THE END
13:07So why hold yourself back?
13:09You get a rest while Hertz does the rest
13:14Just let Hertz put you in the driver's seat
13:21Today
13:27And now we'd like to show you how the Ford Motor Company
13:29Has opened the gateway to a whole, whole new world
13:33A new vista of motoring pleasure with the 58 Edsel
13:36Won't you come in?
13:53This is the Edsel
13:56Unlike any other car you've ever seen
13:59This is the Edsel
14:04This is the Edsel
14:07This
14:08Is the Edsel
14:11This
14:12Is the Edsel
14:14You can see how it looks
14:16You have to feel the power
14:19Of the newest V8 engines in the world
14:21The big new Edsel 400
14:23And the larger
14:24Edsel 475
14:26It is unlikely you have ever driven a car
14:29With so much usable power
14:31As the Edsel
14:33And with Edsel's exclusive
14:35Teletouch drive
14:36You drive more safely
14:38More easily
14:39Than you ever have before
14:41Because both hands can stay at the wheel
14:43While the Edsel shifts
14:45Electrically
14:46This
14:48Is the Edsel
14:49As its graceful flight deck
14:51And classic vertical grille suggest
14:53It is elegant in every detail
14:56And it acts the way it looks
14:58But it doesn't cost that much
15:00See, drive
15:02And be sure to price
15:04The new member of the Ford family of fine cars
15:07The Edsel
15:08At your Edsel dealer
15:14It's the viewing show
15:19It's the Burl Show
15:26It's the Buick Burl Show
15:36Presented by your Buick dealer
15:39How I love to buy my Buick
15:41With my love to buy my side
15:44Pretty girls
15:46And shiny Buick
15:48She's a fellow
15:49With so much pride
15:51With Milton's guest stars
15:54Peter Laufer
15:54Carol Channing
15:55And Maria Riva
15:57Ooh
15:57More I know
15:59That very soon
16:00We'll take a honeymoon
16:02My Buick
16:03I love
16:05And I
16:09Where are you going
16:10On your vacation
16:11What did you say?
16:12I said where are you going
16:12On your vacation
16:13I don't know
16:13I just get in my car
16:14And drive around
16:15That's always good
16:16Yeah
16:16What kind of a car
16:18Do you drive?
16:23Will you repeat that
16:24For the West Coast please?
16:25Say
16:26What kind of car
16:27Do you drive?
16:28Well let me tell you something
16:29Mr. Law Ford
16:30I mean
16:31Henceforth you'll be known
16:32As Mr. Law Buick
16:33Not Mr. Law
16:33I happen to drive
16:35The best car
16:36On the road
16:36Oh how I love
16:38To drive my Buick
16:40With my sweetheart
16:42Sitting by my side
16:44Oh
16:50That's right Milton
16:51Sing it out
16:52And good evening
16:53Ladies and gentlemen
16:54Especially you ladies
16:55Tonight we have
16:56Some exceptionally
16:57Timely advice for you
16:59About this business
16:59Of buying an automobile
17:00It's timely because
17:02These are bargain days
17:03Right now at your
17:04Buick dealers
17:05And when it comes
17:06To picking bargains
17:07As every husband knows
17:09It's the woman of the house
17:10Who's the keenest shopper
17:12So I'm going to
17:13Disqualify myself
17:14As a bargain expert
17:15Tonight in favor
17:16Of a lady who has
17:17Just been shopping
17:17The automobile showrooms
17:19Mrs. Jan Sherwood
17:21Now Mrs. Sherwood
17:22Would you mind
17:23Telling our audience
17:23How many different
17:24Automobile showrooms
17:25You visited this week?
17:26Altogether Mr. Hayworth
17:28I shopped the showrooms
17:29Of 12 different makes
17:30Of cars
17:31Uh 12
17:31And were they all
17:32In the Buick's
17:34Price class?
17:34Well now that depends
17:35On what you mean
17:36By Buick's price class
17:37I found for instance
17:39That some cars
17:40Among the so-called
17:41Low price three
17:42Actually cost more
17:44Than some Buick's
17:45And that's just
17:46One of several
17:46Surprising facts
17:47That I'm afraid
17:48Most folks who are
17:49Shopping for car bargains
17:50Don't realize about Buick's
17:52Well uh
17:53Why don't you take it
17:54From here and let our
17:55Audience in on them all
17:56Thank you Mr. Hayworth
17:58And I think I'll take
18:00That Buick special
18:01Over there
18:01As a typical
18:02Buick bargain
18:04Now if I were going
18:05To pick the bargain
18:06Of bargains
18:06Of all 12 cars
18:08I shopped this week
18:09It would certainly
18:10Be this beautiful
18:11Big Buick sedan
18:13And I found that
18:15This Buick delivered
18:16For appreciably less
18:17Than several models
18:18Of the low price three
18:19Despite the fact
18:21That it gives you
18:21So much more car
18:23Specifically
18:25As my notes show
18:27This Buick
18:28Has from 15 to 30
18:30More horsepower
18:32More room inside
18:33Front and rear
18:35And here's what my notes
18:37Say about the demonstration
18:38Ride I took
18:39In each of them
18:42Frankly there just
18:43Isn't any comparison
18:45And I wish I had time
18:46To show you my notes
18:47On all the cars
18:48That I compared
18:49With Buick
18:50It really makes you
18:51Wonder
18:52How can Buick
18:53Give you so much
18:54For so little
18:55I know
18:56Mr. Sherwood
18:57I've often wondered
18:58That myself
18:59But all you have to do
19:00Is to
19:00Look at the
19:02Rock bottom figures
19:03On the price tag
19:04On this big
19:05Buick
19:05Two door
19:06Six passenger sedan
19:08Just stack this price
19:10Against that
19:10On other cars
19:11You might consider
19:12And remember
19:12It includes
19:14Standard equipment
19:15Charged for as extras
19:16By others
19:17It also includes
19:18Delivery in the very city
19:20In which your TV station
19:21Is located
19:21You certainly can't
19:24Beat Buick bargains
19:25More than that
19:25Mr. Hayworth
19:26I was amazed
19:27At the high trading
19:28Allowances
19:29Buick dealers
19:29Are now offering
19:30They're just about
19:32Tops I found
19:33And that's mighty
19:33Important
19:34Mrs. Sherwood
19:34When you subtract
19:35The top allowance
19:36For your present car
19:37From this low price
19:38You sure got yourself
19:40A money saving bargain
19:41But definitely
19:42And I do hope
19:44You folks out there
19:45Will check this
19:45With your Buick dealers
19:47This week for sure
19:48That's right folks
19:49You couldn't pick
19:50A better time
19:51To see
19:55For I know
19:57That very soon
19:58I'll go on my honeymoon
19:59My Buick
20:00My love
20:12What does it take
20:14To be a Buick
20:15It takes a car
20:16That makes every mile
20:17An adventure
20:22Like the new 1964 Riviera
20:25By Buick
20:26Adventure begins here
20:28And never ends
20:47Riviera
20:48By Buick
20:49A great and rare machine
20:51That a woman can admire
20:52And enjoy to the fullest
20:53But only a man
20:55Can really understand
20:59Find a road yourself
21:00And discover
21:01Adventure is a car
21:03Called Riviera
21:17Ninety-eight
21:18The signature
21:20That is a hallmark
21:21Of motor car elegance
21:22Elegance in the grand manner
21:24Styled with tasteful
21:26And subtle touches
21:27That distinguish
21:28The coachmaker's
21:29Quest for excellence
21:30Marked by luxurious interiors
21:32Of superb comfort
21:34And convenience
21:34Ninety-eight
21:36By Oldsmobile
21:37The engine
21:38Superrocket V8
21:40The ride
21:42All the smoothness
21:44You expect
21:44In Oldsmobile's finest
21:45Ninety-eight
21:48By Oldsmobile
21:50Motor car quality
21:51And elegance
21:52In the grand manner
22:05A first prize
22:06Can take many forms
22:08But there's only
22:09One grand prize
22:11In every field
22:28In the personal sports car field
22:30The grand prize
22:31Is the Grand Prix
22:33By Pontiac
22:34The most popular car
22:36Of its kind
22:37Far and away
22:38Outselling the three
22:39Or four cars
22:40That could be compared
22:41Among its awards
22:43The 63 Automotive
22:45Certificate of Merit
22:47From the Industrial
22:47Designers Institute
22:48See the new Grand Prix
22:51At your Pontiac dealer
23:03What does it take
23:05To be a Buick?
23:06It takes a car
23:08As wild and wonderful
23:09As the new
23:10Buick Wildcat
23:11For 64
23:16When you go the way
23:17Of the Wildcat
23:18People take notice
23:21They want to know
23:22More about your car
23:28They'll want to drive it
23:29Themselves
23:30But beware
23:31Once they get
23:32Behind the wheel
23:33It's hard
23:35It's hard
23:35To get them out
23:4964 Wildcat
23:51It's the wildest
23:52And above all
23:53It's a Buick
24:16Thunderbird

24:22Thunderbird is adventure
24:25A Thunderbird
