Dinah Shore and Pat Boone for Chevrolet 1958
Вставка
- Опубліковано 24 сер 2024
- Pat Boone and Dinah Shore sing the praises of Chevrolet for 1958 in a spot called, "Somewhat Subliminal." For 1958, Chevrolet models were redesigned longer, lower, and heavier than their 1957 predecessors, and the first ever production Chevrolet big block V8, the 348 cu in (5,700 cc), was now an option. The Bel Air gained a halo vehicle in 1958, the Impala, available only as a hardtop coupe and convertible in its introductory year. Impala styling followed the basic lines of the other Chevrolet models but received special styling cues including a different roof line, a vent above the rear window, unique side trim, and triple tail lights housed in slightly broader alcoves. For the budget conscious, the Biscayne, (formerly the 210) and the Delray (formerly the 150) completed this model year's family-oriented and utility offerings.
Chevrolet's design for the year fared better than its other GM offerings, and lacked the overabundance of chrome found on Pontiacs, Oldsmobiles, Buicks and Cadillacs. Complementing Chevrolet's front design was a broad grille and quad headlights that helped simulate a 'Baby Cadillac'; the tail received a fan-shaped alcove on both side panels, which housed dual tail lights. Despite being a recession year, consumers made Chevrolet the No. 1 make of automobile (beating Ford, which held the title in 1957) and the Bel Air was at the core of Chevrolet's popularity. With its wide variety of body styles and models, Bel Airs could be optioned with almost every conceivable luxury within the Chevrolet line. The Nomad station wagon name also reappeared in 1958 when the vehicle bowed as the premium four-door Chevrolet station wagon, lacking the unique styling of the 1955-57 Nomads. Most Chevrolet station wagon models had two tail lights housed in abbreviated alcoves, which were made smaller to accommodate the rear gate. A new dash was used.

Oh, what a country. God I miss it.
Please bring back the '50s. We can all agree it was a better time.
Dinah and Pat entertained us and were unpretentious. I mis them both.
You are not alone.
The 50s sucked unless you were into passivity, racism, stuffing phone booths with teenagers, bad melodramatic movies...@@johna.4334
@@japanwatchconnectionTime to move on after incredible progress which has made possible more equality and opportunity than any nation in history.
Autos were pure works of art back then. Being an auto body designer in Detroit must have been real prestige. Now, just ho-hum blah!
I came here to watch Dinah perform. God, she's beautiful.
FYI-Dinah Shore was born on a "leap year" 1916. She's just over 40 here and she looks dazzlingly beautiful.
I once attended the church that Pat Boone went to. He was there! Love both he and Dinah!
Yah gots good grammar!
Pat Boone is still with us ! 2021
2022!
Yes he is and seems healthy at 88.
The Golden Age pure and simple. I'm 43 and I am so blessed to have had parents and grandparents who passed on to me a love for that era. The cars, movies, and music. I wouldn't trade being home schooled thru the 8th grade for anything!
😲 WOW! Chevy the Heart Beat of America! 🇺🇲
Pat Boone knows about cars! Dinah Shore knows
how to dress! 🎶🎶🎶🎶
😲 But they're musicians!
When cars were cool. People still like '58 Impalas even though they're 60 years old. Not a lot of cars being built today that people will still care about in 60 years.
I remember then new in the showrooms and always loved them, but never got to own one.
When I came home from school I would watch Dinah's Place. She was a little off when singing the new stuff but I didn't care. I loved her.
I'd LOVE to have that Chevy as my daily driver - LOVE the '58 Chevys!
I bought a 348/auto Impala in '69 for 300 bucks - sure wish I still had it
The 60s were a great time to buy old cars. We all should have kept some of them.
My next Corvette will probably be named Dinah
TO BAD ONLY ONE YEAR BODY
First year of the Impala. 1958
Available in 2-door HT and convertible only.
What! 50's era Chevy, had air ride suspension! They should try doing that now.
Jamaal Smith imagine that, in the late 50's.
Some Packard models and some Buick models in the 50's (1958 Buick Limited, 1955 and 56 Packards) came factory equipped with air ride suspension (my dad and grandfather owned all of those models at one time. The cars had heavy rubber bladders on all 4 wheels instead of springs and which were fed by an air compressor on the motor. I don't think any Chevys of that era came factory equipped air ride but may have been able to have it installed as an after market add-on. I could be wrong though.
At the time (1957), Dinah and Pat both appeared for Chevrolet on their own musical variety shows: "THE DINAH SHORE CHEVY SHOW" {NBC, Sundays, 9pm(et)}, and "THE PAT BOONE CHEVY SHOWROOM" {ABC, Thursdays, 9pm(et)}.
!957 convertible 2 dr was the best My father bought it new that year.
Do you know Pat Boone was the world's young people 's idol in the 50's and the 60's?
Yes.
What young people?
White people maybe- he was as bland as could be,the likes of him were why the 60s happened
Best looking chevy car ever made
no chance
It’s butt ugly. Harley Earl’s designs were toilet stink.
This was back when cars had class, style, personality, and their own unique look and design. Now all we get are SUVs, cookie-cutter vehicles that all basically look the same....computers on wheels with no soul or excitement to offer. Just put down your $40,000+ and look like everyone else.
@Jan Pearson You must be very young because those old cars were stylish yes but they were NOT reliable, dependable needed frequent maintainence replacement of many parts at thirty to forty thousand miles.
One hundred thousand miles was considered a long hard life it they made it that far.
They rusted out in seven to eight years paint faded without frequent waxing.
They were NOT safe with metal dashboards NO airbags, antilock brakes.
After fifty thousand miles it was common to burn a quart of oil at every fill up and all fluids leaked on the driveway.
I drove these vehicles when I was a teenager and they were JUNK compared to all modern vehicles today regardless of make.
..yep, complicated electronics, ugly, and nanny features that largely take the driver out of the driving experience..oh, and as for SUV's..most of those have been killed off as well..now we have bubble/cockroach shaped vehicles, which are mostly unibody, transverse-engine, front-wheel-drive-based car platform vehicles which are now marketed as "SUV'S", or "crossovers", which are basically morphed minivans that have been given large diameter wheels and tires, chopped tops, and had the rear sliding doors replaced with regular opening ones.., some have "all wheel drive"(rear wheel assist-still FWD based)..NOT true "SUV'S" at all...

"bubble/cockroach shaped vehicles"
Love it!
@@gtpcruiser02 I’m 79 and was a teenager during those years.
My Mother had a 51 Plymouth she traded in to buy a 64 Mercury comet.
Her Plymouth didn’t have any rust on it, and within a day of trading it, the car was sold off the dealers lot.
She took care of it by keeping it in a garage, had oil changes, and maintenance.
We survived the metal dash boards, lack of seat belts, airbags, and drum brakes.
Back in that era if you had a little mechanical ability you could fix your own car , unlike today when you have to take it to a garage and have pay to have a computer hooked to it to tell you what’s wrong with it.
If the car was in an accident it didn’t crumple into a pile of plastic trash like today’s cars.
50 years from now you won’t see a market with collector’s for today’s plastic cookie cutter cars like you do for the classics that had quality workmanship, distinctive styles and design.
My how times have changes.
Womens rights, feminism, sexism... Gotta love these commercials!
She's a highly successful business woman at a time when many were still housewives.
...I think the '58 Impala was the best looking car there was for 1958...I owned a '57 Chevy as a teenager, and loved it..used to think the '57 Chevy was the best looking car of 1957, and maybe even the entire 1950's...still love them, but in retrospect, I think the Chrysler 300C and DeSoto Golden Adventurer were the best looking cars for 1957...
If that '57 had the original 283 V8 you never should've sold it. It IS the most iconic car of the 50's.
I like 56 and 60 DeSotos, but would rather have a Chevy.
These cars are going to drop in price soon and will be more affordable. Gasoline is going out of style.
@@rickbailey189 Lol.
It was butt ugly. Just a matter of taste.
Now Pat Boone is selling walk-in bathtubs on TV.
And counting his money & living in Bev Hills, right off Sunset in a sizeable estate!
That was supposedly the biggest Chevrolet car they ever made the biggest and heaviest
1959 Impalas were slightly longer, wider & even heavier.
@RS Strazz i dont know about heavier, but iirc the mid 90s cadillac fleetwood was the longest production car ever built (besides limousines of course).
シェビー⤴️⤴️⤴️💖
1:40 min they missed their cue to lipsync.
She is beautiful sweet, shines and sings like an angel, they both look good 😊
Where they put chrome on with a trowel
Came up against the all new Edsels for the model year. Two automotive titans grappling for a share of the sales percentage. Also a slew of also rans chipping away at the popularity contest.
I loved 58 Edsels, but would opt for the Chevy first.
@@1940limited wonderful! A brand new example of either would be a thrill to experience today.
They offered beautiful color combinations and options for the motoring public.
@@billbright1755 I'll take a red 58 Edsel Pacer convertible with stick shift and a baby blue 58 Impala convertible with the same set up. I knew a lady years ago who had a black 58 Impala convertible with stick, 3-speed on the column, 283.. Everybody in town was after her for that car. This was in the mid to late 70s. Don't know what ultimately happened to it, but I'll never forget it.
What exactly was subliminal in this?
57-58-59: All different.
Big fight between the stylist and the engineer. Constant change.
Interesting in this whole commercial we don’t get one good unobstructed look at the car. The whole time the camera is focused just on the performers.
For good reason -the `58 Impala was uuuuugly!
Because they wanted you to go to the dealer and look at them
There's only 1 problem they don't make these cars any more
Charles Eugene "Pat" Boone - not Patrick. Wonder how they talked him into singing his name wrong.
probably alot of money, lol
To match the beat and tempo of the subsequent verse by having the same number of syllables as the previous. One musical note for each syllable and the same number of notes in each verse or stanza. If they stayed with Pat the verse would lack its corresponding note. Easy fix to go by his formal or legal birth name of Patrick. His full name is Patrick Charles Eugene Boone.
@@GizmoRob176 I get it. Notes and syllables. Make it fit. Obviously he went along. And maybe wikipedia and others are right saying his birth name was Patrick Charles Eugene Boone. I can find just as many sources that say his given birth name was Charles Eugene Boone. Christianity Today printed an article stating he was born CEB, and his parents started calling him Pat when their hopes of giving that name to a future daughter was not to be. I doubt that is something they'd just make up.
And singing w/ HER, the icon of icons!
Many peopel had stage names back then.
I guess this was before the grunge look...lol
Кто от Стаса Асафьева ?)
From what year is this ad?
You don't read titles much, eh? Try reading the title of the video..
I'm 57 now and growing up in the sixties, I always thought the 58 was one homely automobile, compared to the 55/56/57. However, I look at the 58 now, especially with the continental kit, (factory option?) let's just say my mind has changed radically. Especially the Impala sport coupe 235-Blue Flame 6 overdrive. Whilst on the subject, the 59 Cadillac was a wild looking spaceship, the rear tails/wings are outrageously cool, them are some cool looking cars. Sadly, all the remaining vehicles of the 50's, 60's, and early 70's have been gobbled up by the rich folks.
You should probably stick with your Toyota Camry with such stunning style
How did Japanese autos enter a conversation about the 1958 Chevy Impala?? I worked at the Fisher Body plant in Willow Springs, Illinois. As did my father and uncle (tool & die). The "Body by Fisher" name plate was located on the doorsill step plate on every Chevy, Cadillac, Buick, Pontiac, & Oldsmobile built before 1985. In 1989 GM closed 11 Fisher Body plants in 4 States affecting 29,000 workers.The Willow Springs facility lost 2,900 workers alone. The Willow Springs facility is now owned by UPS. If you're not familiar with Fisher Body, it's a division of General Motors. In my lifetime I've owned: 69 Olds Cutlass S, 77 Camaro LT, 76 Ford Elite, 76 Monte Carlo, 78 Pontiac Sunbird, 76 Chevy van, 69 Dodge Charger R/T, 77 Grand Prix, 70 Eldorado, 77 Eldorado Biarritz, 78 El Camino, 69 Dodge Charger, 83 Blazer, (full size) 68 Dodge Coronet R/T, 63 Ford F100, 92 Ford Explorer XLT, 93 Pontiac Grand Am, 92 Chevy S-10, 84 Olds 88, 99 Ford Ranger XLT. I wouldn't own any Japanese, Korean autos if they were given to me. So, do me a favor and troll elsewhere.
tim baird yes Tim I myself once had a 1958 Cadillac great car during my high school years in the 70 through 72 still have the car then all the way up until before Reagan was in office at that time it was Jimmy Carter and when the oil crunch hit yes at that time when the gas lines were big it's no fun trying to push a big car to get only five Gap gallons of gasoline
Nah, `58 and `59 Impalas were just plain ugly.
@tim,
"Bitter, party of one. Bitter, party of one. Your table is ready "
1958
And ..
Ah yes the `50s, when the chrome was thick and the women were straight!
Yes, you keep believing that.
David, America in the '50s was a better time; I would do anything to go back in time and live in this era.
@@johna.4334 Correct. Things made much more sense than.
Somehow in trying to improve society, we created chaos and isolation.
@japanwatchconnection And, cis male. Otherwise, you were toast.
@@johna.4334depends-not if you were black,gay..had differing political views to the mainstream and didnt conform to the idealised life shown in these ads.
I like how my Toyota Avalon Limited performs and it looks nice, but the ride isn't too good.
I own a Avalon. It has a sporty, controlled ride. The older cars had the boulevard ride soft and cushy !
"Level air suspension". What is that?
Google is your friend... try using it...
Marketing nonsense-meaningless,lots of that kind of fake techinical jargon around back then,meant to impress but ultimately just empty phrases.
Would somebody tell me why car makers want all their models to look the same? For example Lincoln.
All the make- up really couldn't hide the fact.
What fact?
They don't make'm like they used to
Remember when people were dressed and they were selling a product with out sex in it.
Brenda Black good point, a catchy jingle with Dinah Shore and Pat Boone. To the point, a cool jingle, back the program. Two minutes, tops. Those were the days. And by the way, elegantly dressed.
Obviously 58 was a dog, 59 was completely different
I wouldn't kick either of them out of the garage.
... one day, Pat Boone would be wearing leathers...And Dinah Shore would be insulted that no one wanted to watch her anymore.
58 Not a big yr for big Chev.
58 was the Eisenhower recession. All car sales wee off.
BRAND NEW, NO REVERSE AND NO WARRANTY !!!!!!!!!! AND OUR BRAND NEW 56 FORD BROKE DOWN ON THE WAY HOME FROM THE DEALER,AND MY UNCLES NEW 1960 FORD ROTTED OUT IN A COUPLE OF YEARS!!!!!! HELLO, HONDA,LEXUS AND NISSAN
Stop shouting...please.
@japanwatchconnection nah its just because he was driving ford.
I'm only being honest when I say this but Dina Shore and Pat Boone you couldn't get more corny people if you tried. I liked Dina I'm just being honest.
I prefer these ads over the woke BS of today.
Ok.. well.. first off.. her name is spelled Dinah.. and secondly, you're thinking in 21st Century terms.. not those of the 1950s.. when society loved corny things - TV ads, magazine ads, radio ads.. .the cornier, the more they liked it.
@@Nunofurdambiznez I'm German I only like people who agree with everything I say.
@@1940limitedOh no!woke!-could you please define what you mean by this word that is thrown around by right wingers endlessly and seems to mean anything they dont like!
@@NunofurdambiznezBut did they tho?why do you think the 60s happened?because young people especially were sick of the totally fake garbage as shown in these ads.
58 chevy sucked.
+Donovan Moore I have to agree that styling was way off. Especially after the success of the '55 - '57s. That and the economy taking a stumble didn't help. All GM divisions had new styling that just didn't work. I think it took them until '63 to get their footing again.
I would have to agree.
Why?
@@KingRoseArchives You're right about the stumbling economy but I never had any problem with 58 styling.
Too bad you dropped a bomb you never explained.. in what WAY did the '58 Chevrolets "suck"?
