"This is the way it's gonna be, baby..."
Ummm, what?
The Humbler runs a gauntlet of bleach blondes, cheeseburgers, and street racin' wannabes down at the drive-in. Optional Exhaust cut-outs give the car straight pipes with the pull of a lever. This commercial tells us all that in 1970 it only takes cutouts to attract the attention of some other guy's woman.
Check out the camera work in this commercial! The fish eye lense is everyone's friend at this Drive-In. There's no doubt in my mind why GTOs are popular; even this one from 1970, built in an era past the Goat's heyday, still stands out as an impressive machine. And why not? It speaks volumes about what was right about American cars in the 60s and 70s, without being the behemoth that later 70s cars became. In 1970, all you needed were two doors, 455 cubic inches, and if you believe this commercial - exhaust cutouts.
