    If you enjoyed this video I have uploaded a second compilation of car and truck commercials from the 1980's including a number of Mustang commercials. It's available here: ua-cam.com/video/oa_qGd4HKE4/v-deo.html

    Cars from the 80's to mid 90's were really great. Light weight, good handling, reliable, decent gas mileage. Simple to work on (OBD1). Power was pretty fair in many models too. I've got five Chevrolets. Two 1988's, a 92, 93 and 94. All of them are v6 powered.

      I came to the United States in 1986, initially as an exchange student. The entire year I rode in only 1 car that had a manual transmission. Everyone else drove automatic. I got my driver's license over here, but I had to go back to Germany over the following summer to learn to drive stick, in my dad's Peugeot 405.

  • @guildrich
    @guildrich 5 років тому +4

    Ah...back when car ads were about...well, the cars. Most modern car ads only advertise the _infotainment systems,_ since that's what most people only care about now. The car itself could just be a white, bland cardboard box; as long as it has a 60+ inch screen in the middle of the dashboard, they're completely OK with it. lol

      We had pretty cool times and cars during the 80s. Times of the greatest movies and music. If you notice most music and movies are remakes of the 80s. We also had Reagan as President! 👍

    • @vernonfindlay1314

      As a Canadian and early twenties,it was the music and too much noise. I thank the Lord above I met my wife in/88. Great kids now in their twenties. Also miss the /90's country music then and my kids growing up. God bless you.

  • @campbell0162
    @campbell0162 6 років тому +4

    When they talk about quality, they weren't kidding. In the 80s, vehicles were built better, and lasted longer. Today, cars are made with plastic and cheap foreighn parts that brake easiely. Today, vehicles have way to many recalls unlike back in the 80s, that would be very seldom to hear of any vehicle recalls. The 80s were the good ol' days

    • @casualsuede
      @casualsuede 5 років тому

      TheRam are you kidding? most 80's cars were mostly pieces of shit and were designed to last 5 years. this is coming from a guy who got his licence in 1988. the only reliable cars back then were honda's and which are still reliable and can go 2 decades, as do buicks, subarus, mazdas, nissans and many other car companies.

  • @showbizcec4985
    @showbizcec4985 6 років тому +90

    Maybe it's just me, but what happened to ads like these?! Today they just say an inspiration quote about a car, that barley even relates, over some orchestra music that doesn't explain anything new or cool about the car at all. Also, four wheel steering needs to happen.

    • @travel7489
      @travel7489 5 років тому +11

      different generation of people who make the advertisements... ads used to be simple and explained what the product did.. in a simple, mature way.. today it's either overly dramatic and over the top or it's treated as a comedy skit that's completely random and makes no sense, absurd and meant to make you laugh...

    My grandmother bought an `87 Dodge Aeries K car, brand new when she was in her early 80s. She didn't drive that much, but later it got used and abused by other family members. I don't know whatever happened to it.

    Those were the days. I had a 1989 Chevrolet Cavalier & I liked the looks of the Toyota Camry at that time. Now days can't even get a good deal on new cars that were left over from previous year with the current year cars on lot. I tried to buy a new Lincoln Continental from 2018 a few months ago & the dealer wouldn't even budge on it to sell the last one from 2018 model year plus the so called incentives suck than used to or least where I live. I have a 2006 Lincoln Town Car for 4 years & the dealer didn't have a loyalty program for trading one Lincoln for another but least my car is paid for finally. Love the video.

      In the second compilation I made you can see alot more RWD Trucks and a number of Mustang commercials from the mid 1980's available here: ua-cam.com/video/oa_qGd4HKE4/v-deo.html

      I did dealer prep on those Eagles. They came off the truck with very little oil in all of them. Not a bad car tho.

    With the exception of the Jeeps, Honda’s and Toyota’s, which are becoming fewer and further between, one would be hard pressed to find great examples of most of these vehicles, if at all, in today’s automotive landscape!

    The Chrysler advert at 2:10 is misleading, the K Cars (Aries/Reliant) were never built in Canada during that time, only the Caravan/Voyageur minivans.

      I'm sure it would be an experience for sure to try! Keep an eye out for another 80's Car Compilation coming up in the next few days (hopefully) I have almost enough clips!

      That Pulsar looked pretty nice, too.
