Oh Nostra, Apparently Mr. Ricardo Montabon did a ad in Quebec in FRENCH I am trying to track down. It was for a different car though.

I agree. His ideas got America thinking about Domestics again!
And look at the legacy of the K-car! It goes pretty much until 1994!

it wasn't a really great car, but did it ever take a beating.
It was like so many other unsung domestic FWD shitboxes out there that got the American auto industry back on its feet:
cheap to buy
cheap to drive
cheap to maintain
rugged
sort of fun to drive

Part Two: The Heartbeat of America
I decided to instead jump to GM instead of Remault/AMC.
GM was having a mini resurgence as well due to the American product pride kick going on. GM created a new jingle for Chevrolet, the heartbeat of America to emphasize that.
http://www.youtube...atch?v=E4x0NLpM2tE
There's multiple variations of this theme, but they all are slick.
GM always could also for the other brands, write up a very specific jingle for the ads. The next few ones explain this:
"Like a Ccupe"
http://www.youtube...atch?v=rAesYQnXQQI
"The Finer Things"
http://www.youtube...atch?v=YqYuZMxmO0w
"From Oregon to Maine"
http://www.youtube...atch?v=tzy-dKfUpO4
This ad kills me because they have the car next to a steam train!
"Here and Wow"
http://www.youtube...atch?v=54TFiAaKjOo
(this is actually a regional ad created by GM)
Then sometimes, you just need a special ad for a special car
"Never seen anything...like this....BEFORE"
http://www.youtube...atch?v=CP7ijUkgc-4
"Yes, its a CHEVY"
http://www.youtube...atch?v=vPaS_5Kz2UA
"Living in a heart beat!"
http://www.youtube...atch?v=rAesYQnXQQI
"One of the 12 Best Enthusiast Cars"
http://www.youtube...atch?v=Lv9-QPg01yI
Here, we have Don LaFontaine doing the voice over
"WE...BUILD...EXCITEMENT"
http://www.youtube...Rk&feature=related
Ooo...its the mid 80s and we just discovered computer generated graphics!
"Imported from America"

Very odd commerical for the Nova
Just for Samarui, here is the commerical introudcing the Beretta:

Now since the 2010 Olympics in Vancouver are coming up, here's a look back at the last time Canada hosted the Olympics back in 1988:

NUMMI
San Jose, Ca.
it was a Corolla with a bowtie.
As for the Beretta ad, that was such a weird ad campaign... for 1988, though, the Beretta did have clean lines.
I think it's still pretty sweet now that everything looks like a jellybean

I love that Audi ad...
Also, I will forever have a soft spot for the Nova-rolla, it's the first standard car I ever drove on the road. My friend Nova still drives one (Yes, her name is Nova and she drives a Nova), that little fucker has to have a million km on it. She named him Timmy.

Oh jeez.
I found out that GM is once again the Official Provider of Cars to the Vancouver 2010 Games and they will be bringing their new hydrogen-cell Chevy Equinox for all fleet use.

Yeah, how the fuck did they pay for that?
