1959 Oldsmobile commercial

- Bill Hayes and Florence Henderson were two big faces for Oldsmobile in 1959. They appeared together on stage in four of Olds' annual dealer announcement shows, and they promoted Oldsmobile on television.
This is a vintage TV commercial from "The Big Record Show", Patti Page's big-budget variety show during the 1958-59 season. (Page was another big entertainer sponsored by Oldsmobile.)
The material in this commercial was adapted from the 1959 Olds dealer announcement show "Good News About OLDS". At the end of that show, Bill Hayes performed an amazing song called "Let's Talk About a Rocket."

This rap predates Rapper's Delight by over 20 years!
Thinking the same! First rappers without the tattoos or profanity!😆They were amped up on something. Great times then.👏
Uh no, this was a ripoff of the opening scene of the Broadway hit musical, The Music Man, 1957.
Very catchy commercial. people don't realize that is hard to do without making a mistake. They sang well.
they rapped well you mean
The way these two actors are talking in this commercial, they sound like they are doing a predecessor to rapping! They go well together in this commercial.
If I was able to time travel to be able to live back in the 50's this is the type of car I would certainly go for. The cars back then were terrific design, works of engineering art, and of high quality. For servicing they were not extremely complicated as like today's cars that are technically rolling computers.
That was a good one for 1959
Snoop Dogg will get jealous when he hears THIS ...
The best, well prepared and presented car advertisement ever made.
Check out the '59 Plymouth factory commercial. It's my favorite.
@@griveramx OK
Florence looks Lovely.
A cool commercial for a great American made car. When they really designed beautiful car's.
A friend went from CT to FL in a 59 Olds when he was a kid. Four doors, four adults, 5 kids, plenty of room.
Everyone does know here that this type of song patter owes much to the Broadway run of "The Music Man" which wasn't made into a film until 1962.
Yup! Check out my podcast with Florence Henderson and Bill Hayes to see and hear the entire story: www.goneautos.com/Blog/files/Podcast_009_Florence_Henderson_Bill_Hayes.html
Haha...what a story!
He's just a bang-beat, bell-ringing, big haul, great go, neck or nothing, rip-roaring, every time a bull's eye salesman. That's Professor Harold Hill, Harold Hill.
"Ya got trouble with a capital 'T,' that rhymes with 'P,' and that stands for pool!"

Yup! The precursor of 'The Music Man!' Running on Broadway since 1957 with 1,375 performances, it was a major hit with music by Meredith Wilson - making an even better movie with Shirley Jones, Buddy Hackett, Paul Ford and Ronnie Howard. I'm surprised they didn't get Robert Preston to do the spot! "Well, you've got trouble my friends!' Apparently, the Ad agency patterned a spot out of something that was designed to get people upset - suggesting a boy's band would cure the problem. In this case - an Oldsmobile! I went to see the Music Man in the local theater in 1962. After seeing it and being totally transfixed, we begged mom to let us sit through it again - she said OK! I think she wanted to see it again as much as we did!
It's based on the opening "Rock Island" number in the show, in which Preston didn't participate.
BRILLIANT!!!!
LOVE & MISS THIS ERA! BEST Days of our BabyBoomer Lives!! REAL AMERICAN!!!
REAL TALENT!!!
REAL QUALITY!!!
REAL INTEGRITY!!!
AND.......
ALL MADE TO LAST!!!!!
TIME MACHINE, PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!🌠
Thank you so much! Just subscribed to your fab nostalgia channel!!!
I'll second that100%👍🤗
It's "Carol Brady"!! RIP Florence Henderson!!
Talk about nostalgia. When was the last time a commercial like that was produced?
I think that if you sponsor the entire TV program, you get to make whatever commercial you want.
Never
commercials like this ended in teh mid 80s i think
THIS WAS GM'S YEAR. PONTIAC WAS "MOTOR TREND'S" CAR OF THE YEAR. It was beautiful ! So was the Buick. The Cadillac was the epitome of futuristic car design. A little over the top, but a real classic !
This is the car of my dreams!
I want it !!
They certainly had the room that's for sure. Not like today's vehicles. Today they are built more for styling than for comfort and fitting you in. Most back seats today are just for show.
Good Lord. No wonder the Soviets wanted to nuke us.
I'll take a brand new Olds Station Wagon, fully optioned, red paint.
I would mind having one myself or any 59 Olds for matter.
I’ll have a white super 88 Scenicoupe. Maybe put a red number 42 on each side.
"Whattya ask, whattya ask... But you gotta know the territory!"
A solid hour of that add would have you ready to buy that car or else. If they could have jazzed up the beat a few notches they probably would have sold a bunch more Oldsmobiles.
Rap? In the 50s?
This commercial is a parody of the Music Man hahaha
Wow its Mrs. Brady ,lol
Inaugural Daytona 500 winner!
Fucking Hot. Just Great.
Beethoven been real quiet since this dropped
Slipknot would do a sick cover of this.
Rap
Even for 1959...this commercial is very "tacky"...indeed. I probably would have been "steered away" from buying that car because of the commercial. 1959 was a great year for all American cars. When I was 10 yrs. old our family drove from Florida to California in a 1959 Chevy Biscayne.
A Chevy Biscayne?? What a shit car! Too bad for you.
Love the sleepy cat's eyes on the rear of the '59 Chevies!
The first RAPPER in the USA. 😆
After seing this commercial people started to develope hepilepsia.
This was ripoff of the opening scene of The Music Man, 1957. Pretty clever. I didn't care much for whole '59 GM line when it came out (you literally sat on the floor in ALL cars!), but I liked the Olds' workaround of Bill Mitchell's "Buick door" dictum to all divisions. Worst GM mess that year was Cadillac, cleanest '59 GM car was the Buick, with Olds as a close second. The Chevy's rear end was laughable, and the Pontiacs introduced the rear "skegs" that proliferated in the '61 model year on Olds and Cadillac, another Bill Mitchell weirdness. Mitchell was Harley Earl's protege.
You're obviously a very self opinionated p**** calling The 59's, GM'S mess!!!🤔🤨🧐 in millions of people's opinion All the 59's IMHO were fabulously styled in an era when America was at it's Zenith with its Economy booming, cars, clothes, music & culture(drive in resturants, movie theatres etc) which the rest of the World admired & Envied!!! Absolutely The polar opposite of today's mess which the Country is in and rapidly descending into a laughing stock in the eyes of the rest of the World!!!🤨🧐🤬How can a Country fall so far in just a little over Sixty years!!!😢😞
Olds started with an 88, then a 98, now they have a urinate.
Olds mobile now is a Ratatuille. (fome la weá)
If it comes back will there be a 108?
When i was a kid we had a 59 Dynamic 88 wagon, great commercial with such writing and obvious talent
MAGA
Beautiful year for GM cars!
Let's go Brandon!!!
@@jimmycricket5366 EVERY model was beautiful, i like how the top of the roof on the 4 door hangs over on the rear, be nice if they showed the wagon and convertible
Damn...they are all worked up pushing the 59...theyll look like fools getting all fired up all over again for the 60 model....oh wait..somebody else will be doing that.
😫😫😫😫😫😫who knew rap was around in ‘59. It stinks now and it stunk then too.
3 tenses of "Stink" - Stink, Stank, Stunk.
so daft
Gave me a damn headache.. I'd rather hear her sing than this clown trying to do a scene from "The Music Man".
It is irritating to listen to
Not a fan of this commercial. It's silly to me. Not a way to present the Oldsmobile brand of car.
that damn thing gave me a freakin HEADACHE!! why couldn't Flo have just sung some wonderful B-way show tune and been done with it? This commercial was created by someone on crack! there's 2 minutes and 53 seconds of my life completely wasted AND I have a headache now on top of it LOL!!
You want some cheese with your whine?
@@DiamondT How about if YOU shut the FUCK UP! that might work better than anything else
@@DiamondT lmaooo
My word. What a tedious commercial. Who would buy one of those after being put through that garbage. I know it is a cheap rip off of part of the Music Man, and it is sickening.
Yes, lets talk about a "rocket"
I mean a Rocket engined inaugural Daytona 500 winner!
This commercial is a parody of the Music Man hahaha
