Here’s a 1961 television spot — nearly two minutes long — for Chevrolet.
Have you seen the USA — or Route 66 — in your Chevrolet?
And the folks who made that ad somehow wondered years later where psychedelia came from.
UPDATE: Apparently the link I had was taken down. However, I found a duplicate version.
Looks like the video has been removed from YouTube.
When I clicked on the link, I got a message saying ‘this video has been removed’?????
Apparently it has. However, I found a duplicate.
Sounds like a little Henry Mancini music playing in the background. Must have been shown on one of the TV shows they were the major sponsor such Route 66.
You can watch it now…it is pretty cool.
I still think the 57 Chevy is one of the best collector cars. I however own a 67 mustang convertible. I must say it Is my favorite car ever. When I went looking for Mustang stuff along route 66, it was hard to find. The Corvette dominates the souvenirs but at least there is a worthy muscle car alive and well on the mother road. I see the link contains a total of 31 Chevy commercials which is more than enough to satisfy the Chevorel freaks out there.
