Rambler Car Ad
Rambler Car Ad
Master 3 - Tape 2 Jack Gilford (from the Cracker Jack commercials) and Mason Adams (from "Lou Grant") combine here in an interesting if odd commercial for the Rambler. It has a "pick up a buddy" theme--buying a Rambler means buying a friend. A c.1961 Rambler pulls into a gas station; the driver gets out of the car; the attendant says, "You take regular, right?" And thus a conversation about Ramblers begins. Also a talking car theme, with the gullible gas station attendant listening to the car, waiting for it to talk.Owner says "I didn't just buy a car when I bought a Ramble, I bought a friend for life." He puts his cheek to the car frame and says "what a buddy" (it looks as strange as it sounds). The attendent puts his hand to his ear "Can I hear him?" and the owner says now you gotta buy one of your own, "Go to a Rambler dealer and pick out one...they practically give them away, those great guys. They're saints, those Rambler dealers. Saints."
