Some nostalgia to make you get emotional



Loved the heartbeat ads.



There is something about 80s commercials. Patriotism, America, men were men, women were hot.



My personal favorite: a Japanese Camaro commercial. This is when people loved America around the world. They ran an American themed heartbeat commercial in Japan. I love the way the Japanese guy says "Chevy Camaro" at the end.

My favorite is the Pontiac lineup commercial, that REALLY gets you going:


Ah, an era when the arrowhead actually symbolized actual excitement and performance and not BMW-wannabe.

Oh man, I remember those Pontiac ads from the 80s!! I used to rock out to them. What has happened to advertising? All this reality/ humor cr*p. They should back to selling excitement, power, and patriotism.

LOL Somebody stole what was going through my head. Did you see one of the Youtube comments for the Pontiac commercial:

"LiliFox (2 weeks ago)
Yeah.. Back then you saw zest like this with Ford and Chevy too. It's a shame that car companies don't take this much pride in their products anymore. :( " AMEN

Yeah, and it's amazing how recent it changed too. The commercials for the 90's Camaros/Firebirds/Mustangs were awesome too. I dunno what changed so quick, I guess it's mostly because you see import commercials more than you do domestic and domestics are trying to replicate them since they sell. :\

My favorite is definitely the third video. At about 18 seconds.

"Oh my god! He's gonna hit them."
Exactly what ran through my head.
