Cool. Try to find one for Ollie Fretter. How about Federal's Department Stores with Steven West telling us how Federal's is doing something about the price of food. Will be anxiously awaiting more posts! Detroitej72 | ||

I don't have it, but an all time fave is for the Detroit Zoo. The commercial with all the animals running around "backstage" getting ready for the show. Hilarious and brilliant. | ||

You gotta love the comercial for Englander with the woman smoking a cigarette. A small detail, but one SO 70's! My father says he remembers being able to smoke his pipe at Wayne State in class in the 70's. I read an ad from Reader's Diegest from the early 60's that said smoking was good for the bodies' immune systeam! Detroitej72, rembering days of old... | ||

Dtown1 Member Username: Dtown1 Post Number: 223 Registered: 08-2006 |
I made sure that a lot of these commercials that I did put up were viewed local and distributed locally. I apologize though if national that was viewed local wasnt what you were looking for. | ||
Ed_golick Member Username: Ed_golick Post Number: 446 Registered: 10-2003 |
No need to apologize, Dtown. There are tons of national commercials out there, but the local stuff is very rare. Check out WJBK's Sagebrush Shorty doing a live pitch for Hires Root Beer. http://www.detroitkidshow.com/ Shorty_Hires.htm | ||

Ok, this isn't an old ad and it isn't local but I didn't want to start a new thread for one SHRIEK!!!. The new Macy's campaign is REALLY sticking in my craw. How do they expect to win favor with the metro audience by bastardizing the lyric of Martha and the Vandella's great hit "Dancing in the Streets" changing the line "can't forget the Motor City" to "can't forget the west coast"?? http://www1.macys.com/catalog/ syndicated/remote/remotesyndic ation.ognc?Brand=PRESSRELEASE.

But does anyone know the unintelligible second half of the second line: "Stay on the right track to Nine Mile and Mack. Roy O'Brien's Trucks and Cars ___________ ?" This has bothered me for 45 years now, and DetroitYES is my only hope for peace before I die. This was usually heard on the radio, but now I recall that there was a very sixties-looking animated TV version, too, but with the same scratchy jingle recording. | ||

Well at least after nearly half a century Roy O'Brien is still at 9 Mile and Mack... how many old dealers are still in their original locations? Most have hightailed it to the outer burbs... The stretch of 9 Mile Rd. in St. Clair Shores has really been turning into an Automotive Alley in recent years. Roy O'Brien Ford now has 2 new neighbors down the street. Don Gooley Cadillac and a brand new Mercedes dealership. (Message edited by Gistok on October 02, 2006) | ||

The Detroit Historical Museum has a room on the second floor that has a wall of TVs where you can play a series of the old local commercials. The Detroit Zoo commericial, "My lines, my lines..." and the "That's why we make Faygo" commercial is there too. BTW, the boat in the Faygo commercial looks like a Bob-Lo boat but it isn't. | ||
Zephyrprocess Member Username: Zephyrprocess Post Number: 51 Registered: 08-2006 |
Although the sing-along "Remember when you were a kid/That's why we make Faygo" commercial is duly beloved, I wish I could find one of the series with Harold (The Great Gildersleeve) Peary behind the counter, reciting all the Faygo flavors. | ||
