Man that car looks so futuristic even til this day
Are you sure about that?
I agree. Styled well ahead of its time.
That's my Mom, my Dad, and my brother! There are some great stories to be told about the two or three days it took to film that!
+Todd Bettenhausen thanks for posting!! That's awesome. I bet that was interesting.
I assume you didn’t get to keep the car.
A Gaytheist Oh yes, Mom and Dad got a car and my brother got a car!
Doug Blake Please don’t ever take this down off UA-cam… I love showing it to people! Someday I will tell the stories behind this… You are won’t believe them, but every word will be true!
@@tbhausenplease spill the beans!

1989 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme International TV Commercial with Gary Bettenhausen.
I could have told them that commercial wasn't going to work
It was still your father’s Oldsmobile. and I was selling them at this time.
(they did have some nice driving cars at the time)

Thanks for remembering him. 👍
The families of the Andrettis & Unsers were part of the pillers of Indianapolis Motor Speedway. And so were the Bettenhausens though unfortunately not with success. With Gary particulary being mentioned here I thought that there were a few other things to include in respect to Gary Bettenhausen:
www.hoosierhistorylive.org/mail/2016-04-16.html
_'Gary Bettenhausen not only is remembered as a fiercely competitive driver, but as a compassionate and valiant one. _*_During the Indy 500 in 1971, he slammed on his brakes and leaped from his still-moving car to help a rival, driver Mike Mosley, who was pinned in a burning car. Gary pulled Mosley from the wreckage.'_*
Then in 1972, he nearly won the damn thing....

_'Gary Bettenhausen _*_led 138 laps until his car suffered ignition trouble on lap 176,_*_ and he coasted to the pits. Jerry Grant took over the lead, but pitted for a new tire and fuel on lap 188 in teammate Bobby Unser's pit -for which he was later disqualified. Bettenhausen's Penske teammate Mark Donohue won the race, after leading only the final 13 laps. It was owner Roger Penske's first of eighteen Indy 500 victories (as of 2019) and the first victory for a McLaren chassis at Indy. Al Unser Sr.,who won the race in 1970 and 1971, was looking to become the first driver in history to "three-peat" at the Indianapolis 500. He fell short, but his runner-up finish ties for the best three-year span (1st-1st-2nd) in Indy history.'_
I had one of these a red and silver one with red interior I shouldn't have sold that car I didn't know how special it was until now my cousin let the city take it and idk what happened to it after that
Oh i saw the cutlass today!
"This is not your father's Oldsmobile" Well it flipped the bird to the older clientele who bought those 88 and 98 sedans. Then with the younger set, that ad campaign made them associate Oldsmobile with "OLD" and their father's car. I can't think of such a horrible ad campaign, or a car brand that fell off a cliff sales wise in the 1990's vs the 1980's.
the magic of 120 bhp oh my gosh lol
Aaron M come on don't shortchange the car it had 135 hp LOL!!
Funny commercial esp. since one of the knocks on this car was that it was under powered at 160 hp. That engine sure was durable though.
Early 89 cars would have the 2.8. Rated at 125-130 HP. The later 89 cars would have the 3.1. Rated at 140 HP. It would be a few years later when the HP was bumped up to 160.
@@jiggity76 Got it. I used to have one and loved it.
@Charles Gallagher: The previous version was waay underpowered. 140hp from a 5.0 V8.
Remember that V8 engines of that time were only pushing 140-200 horses.
@@Mark-eu4dsI've got a ford v8 from the era and it's slower than a modern day v6 camry. So I'll agree with that.
No commercial can fix an outdated car design.
