70s car commercials
- Thread starter hittman
- Start date
Except for the Charger and the Camaro, there were some really ugly cars back then
The early 70's were the heyday of muscle, in addition:
Chevrolet Chevelle S/S
Olds 442
Plymouth Barracuda
Pontiac GTO
Ford Mustang/Boss
Pontiac Firebird, pre-T/A
AMC Javelin
Ford Torino
Glory days!
IDK that 70 Nova looked pretty good to me… but then my 1st car was a 70 Nova SS so I might be a little biased
Those Nova's won a lot of drag races back in the day. Grocery getters they were called, but some had some muscle.
We had a 4 door '70 Chrysler 300 that had 440 in it. Won me some country drags as a teen, until I wrecked it, or more correctly someone wrecked me. People would look at it and laugh, "you brought momma's car"? They learned....

Agreed, those cars were ugly!
But I do actually kind of like the AMC Pacer.
You can still see Pintos from time to time. There is a green one around here I see occasionally.
But what was really funny was the OJ Simpson comparison commercial. In today’s cancel culture that would have never happened. So funny.

I had a 68 Nova. Not much difference in styling between the 68 to 72 Novas. And that 307 could be built into a beast. Ask me how I know.
Oh, and the 72 Gran Torino beat the Torinos in a heartbeat. Ask me how I know.
And the fastest of them all stock was the largest "intermediate" sized car made. the 1978 Ltd II. Sport Touring Edition. Ask me how I know.
And it's still as fast today, maybe faster, than when new.
Yep, I did fine at Brotherhood.

Better than today's cars that all look alike.
I always liked the AMX commercial, the son had it ready for the strip & Dad hollered for Mom to see how their Son had butchered it. Remember the Toyota dragging a rocket car at the strip. I’d love to stumble onto an old Maverick to tinker with

Prettiest twins I ever knew drove a pair of the AMC Pacers. The car was not as memorable as the girls.

My mother’s bright yellow ‘68 Dodge station wagon had a 440. I remember my dad driving it like he stole it when taking 40 miles of country roads to the hospital after I was bitten by a cottonmouth when I was five.Those Nova's won a lot of drag races back in the day.

Don’t forget the Buick GSX! I bought a convertible’70 GSX with 40k miles in 1980, for $1100. It had the 455 with the dual quadrajets on a ram intake and a hot cam. This was a dealer option called the Stage II package. I didn’t get mileage with that one, but gallonage!

when i listen to this....i can close my eyes and hear the engine, then i hear the radio, and look over at the passenger seat, and i can see her in it. even today.
amazing how music of the era and a V8 go together.

I'm blessed. Met my wife at 16. We've been married 52 years. I don't have to close my eyes remember. All I have to do is walk into the other room. I love to embarrass her by describing exactly how she looked the moment I first saw her. Yea, I kind of love that woman.

There were less than 700 GSX Buicks made in 1970 in only two colors and none were convertibles. The Stage II parts were never a factory option but were sold over the counter by the dealers for the customer to install. The Stage II package did not include two four barrel carburetors.
Dad had a Pontiac Ventura (Nova) for work. Had a 350 4 BBL. MY nephew had a 4 dr Nova a real beater of a car. Did some engine work on it, put slicks on the back and referred to it a Bossa Nova.Those Nova's won a lot of drag races back in the day. Grocery getters they were called, but some had some muscle.

Dad ordered a 65 Malibu wagon with a high output 327 and no power steering. (what was he thinking?)
I surprised a lot of Mustangs and Camaros with it in the Red Light Nationals.
Here’s the first one that came to mind, when I was a wee one in the 60’s this was a real cool one and still is.
