@LibrarianRA Can you imagine a commercial today with practical effects like that?
@rogerriddle lol, right? I think my favorite parts is
"With a Computer
" I remember back then anything with a computer seemed space aged.
@LibrarianRA Ha! Yeah, I thought that too. I was like, oh they called out the circuit board? Wow!
@rogerriddle @LibrarianRA the animation on that circuitry as well!
@rogerriddle @LibrarianRA "for optimum power" yeah right.. still using power to sell cars, even a bland 4 banger that looks like an IRS motor pool car. Computer's real purpose is more like smog/emissions compliance enforcement device..
that mileage isn't shabby though- 43/28
was there a driver in the car? I couldn't tell.
the speed & physics seem wrong for that to be driven by a human. Maybe it was propelled on a rail by some roller coaster mechanism.
also- no legal disclaimer.. professional driver, closed course, do not try this at home kids..
'member Joe Isuzu?
@felis_catus_domesticus @rogerriddle It was pulled by a sled attached to the car.
@LibrarianRA there is another version of this ad where you can clearly see the sled that pulls the (empty) car at the start of the video https://www.reddit.com/r/classiccars/comments/11uqc89/its_here_the_84_ford_tempo_commercial/
