Cheesy 80's car ads

[Leonidae]

Ohh, 80's, how I miss thee

 

[Duke]

Oh. My. Bob. That's hilarious. I love how the guy in the silver flame suit is slam-shifting an automatic.

And I remember those digital dashboards - they had a software bug such that if you hit redline while the digital display was reading over 100mph, the whole dash would go uniform green, leaving you utterly in the dark about your velocity and revs.

Duke, that was a manual he was shifting.

I love how the guy's like "uh-oh, lasers shooting out from anthills, gotta swerve!" Ah the 80's, cheesiness to the max!

 

[Leonidae]

I started thinking of thundercats and he-man when I saw that

 

[ROAD_DOGG33J]

I seem to recall seeing that portion with the lasers. deja vu

 

[Pupik]

Chevy's blinding me with science. I also felt like I just stepped out of Epcot.

Nice find.

I like how on the Cavalier commercial, where the announcer says "an interior that comforts your very soul" the lady looks like she's having the time of her life.

You should call this the cheesy old car commercial thread!

"I took it to the prom!"

 

[Duke]

Duke, that was a manual he was shifting.

It sure looks like a thumb button on the top of the shifter to me!

 

[CDailey]

LMAO I wonder how much they had to pay Sir Jackie Stewart to talk like that about the Tempo?

 

[Eric.]

Nah, if you pause it and find a frame showing the shifter you can make out that it is a raised portion with the shift pattern. I understand how you thought it was that button though.

 

[Jay]

That Corvette advert is awesome!

 

[stumpydino]

lol these are great

wow!

 

[Jim Prower]

I wonder if they gave you that discount if you traded an older Nova in?

 

[Leonidae]

I think that change of the threads title is in order.. oh, the cheesyness..

 

[Joey D]

I love the Tempo ad and that massive understeer.

 

[Tornado]

85MPH Speedometers FTW!

 

[Jim Prower]

With 55 Highlighted somehow, as if to remind you, "Hey, National speed limit!"

 

[Robin]

.... when it got to the pan shot of the dash I couldnt help my self!




TBH later models were a good tuners car and it does look kinda good in an odd sort of way...

Merkur FTW!


How about the Grand National?

1987 Maxima

My brother had one of these for his first car. The rear cloth seat was brilliant, it was practically like a couch.



1990 Maxima

Not exactly the cheesiest, skip to the next one for that



1988 Maxima

This is killer



1986 Taurus

Another one for cheese fans

 

[Solid Lifters]

 

[Jim Prower]

This is my younger brother's car!!!
No, literally, it is! Same package, different headlights, and slightly different color, but, otherwise, that's it.

 

[Solid Lifters]

Optimus Prime selling Suzuki Samuri...





Everybody needs a Yugo, sometime...

 

[ROAD_DOGG33J]

1985 RX-7

I love the Tempo ad and that massive understeer.

Look at the body-roll on this one

1984 LTD



1985 Toyota pick-up commercial

 

[buickgnx88]

Gotta love that Yugo commercial..."We bought it as a dependable second car!"

 

[Tornado]

I sat own and looked at most of these. Its been a long time since I heard the "Heartbeat of America" tagline.

Another one for cheese fans

All I could think of was Robocop during that one...

HOLD IT?!?! Tarauses had digital speedos and tachs!?

 

[Barracuda]

I really like that GNX one, George Thorogood ftw.
