I heard that William Asher and Liz Montgomery (husband & Wife) got a new Chevy each year as being on the show!

I agree with DA90027 - cars WERE beautiful back then - the '65-'67 full-size Chevies were the best-looking cars that Chevrolet ever built. Those cars could also withstand a collision - they were built of real American steel. Properly-equipped, a full-size mid-sixties Chevy could still get over 20 mpg, and you could get that Chevy with an inline six or a V8.

I am old enough to remember actors as "pitchmen" for products. in some ways, their blatant advertising was more honest than the "product placement" in tv and movies today.

I also rememember a 1969 episode of "Bewitched" (when Samantha was pregnant with Adam) where several volunteers fled a proposal she had made for assistance with a project; the scene is in a parking lot, where they drive out rapidly--in a Caprice, a Malibu, a Camaro, a Nova, a Corvette, and a a rare '69 Corvair--a sneaky way to show all six current Chevy models in ten seconds or less.

Much as I enjoyed the nostalgia of the commercial, it's another reminder of how cunsumerism, big business - sheer commercialism, took advantage of when we we had 'clean' heroes to worship. We think we're so immune today, but bicycles with Lance Armstrong written on the frame are still highly desired by a lot of keen cyclists.

It's really weird seeing a 1965 car driving through an 1800s town.

It was shown on "Bonanza" and, if I'm not mistaken, on "Bewitched" as well...because I remember Agnes Moorehead riding on the rear deck of the Chevy II Nova sedan! The '65 Corvair was introduced only a few months before "Unsafe at Any Speed" was published--and until the book came out, the Corvair had its second-best sales year ever...
