Sorry if it's been posted already.

Goodyear smashed it was this one.




I still think the late 80s and all of the 90s were the peak of automotive adverts.

TV ads that are tolerable are few and far between but I do like the new Porettti lager one with the Riva-esque cruiser and the foxes.

To think some ad man pitched that saying and 'then to end it the fox on the front plays a mouth organ'

These are amazing, that is the first time I have seen these.

A couple from me.....

Rather obliquely, not a car advertisement but this summed up everything a 15 year old could have dreamt of in the 80s

“Come back, Chuck. Come back.”


You’re not wrong. But I thought we were doing car ads on this thread?
