83 Camaro promo video

Not sure if this video is already up on this site somewhere, but I found it amusing and thought I would post link:

http://testdrivejunkie.com/1983-chev...acturer-promo/

Note that up here in the Great White North we don't say ZEE 28, we pronounce it ZED 28.

Re: 83 Camaro promo video

Did he really just say "Its sporty good looks are highlighted by black accents and dual mirrors"? Really?


Also, curiously.... here's a video for a 1978 Dodge Diplomat:


Go to 1:45.

And then compare to the Camaro video at 5:10.

I suppose everyone just had to hide their cameras in lockable storage compartments back then? Lol...

Of course. Back in those days a camera would set you back 2 weeks pay. Now you can get a free camera on a keychain with a fillup.

Not to be out done by "An electronic digital clock. Accurate to within 60 seconds a month." at 2:08 or "Leather. Real leather." OMG -- that made my night.
