I am so happy to have found this video!! I remember hearing this song at an auto show when I was a kid, and then singing it all the time--to the dismay of my parents. Thanks for sharing! Awesome video.
Cars from the 60's were awesome. Nothing cheap in them. I wish they made cars today with those old designs. How cool would that be? George Vreeland Hill George Vreeland Hill
pontiac i salute you. some cool cars. too bad but we had to evolve. great days,I wasa little too late,didn't start driving til 1975. had some ok cars but did not have the money or mechanical ability to fix up a hot rod. oh well
@liddlebopeep A Hyundai can't even carry tailpipes of those 1969 Pontiacs...Those cars were built sturdy with style and speed that would leave the Hyundai eating exhaust smoke.
@cadillac4100 That was over 40 years ago. Show me something Pontiac builds today that is comparable....oh yeah, Pontiac doesn't exist anymore. I used to laugh at Hyundai and Kia, but now I would seriously consider buying one...they're just that good.
@italy4blktop - times change, and styles move on. Otherwise, we still would have been driving cars with fenders and running boards in the sixties. So it is today.
wow it's like the pontiac's are appearing out of thin air! I'm sure this gave many a poor unsuspecting 60's youngsters nightmares! scaary stuff kids! like monster chiller horror theatre!! ..uh i got nothin ..
And the old guy with his Cadillac can laugh at your Honda while driving away after your one liter Honda engine blows up spewing shrapnel all over the track while you try to get 400hp out of it. Why don't you get a real rice rocket like a Nissan 300 ZX, a 350Z, or any Mazda with a rotary and leave the Honda brand sewing machines to the girls?
it is amazing that the 5 Divisions of GM had such distinctive differences in the 60's and even into the early '70s. Rather sad now that we have to litter our roads and eyesight with "fortune cookie-cutter" Asian cars made of cardboard. The domestic auto makers are still making great cars but the styling and imagination seems faded away....Harley Earl where are you?
@liddlebopeep Yes that was 40 years ago, true that & Pontiac is no longer in existence..Though I have never owned Pontiacs of that era or any of them for that matter As a 25 year Cadillac owner I have great respect for those cars than I will a Hyundai or a Kia..I have 6 Cadillacs from 1973 to 1985 that will put to shame those piece of shits you call Hyundai or Kia...I will throw a bone at you..My cousin has a CTS V that will smoke away anything that Hyundai or Kia put on the road.
change for the sake of just change is not good to me. i realize technologies and safety made for necessary redesigns, but i would have preferred an eveloution of design ala M-Benz, they had the safety technology, the fit and finish and their cars looked the same from the 70's to the 90's and they were classic designs that still look good, not the new stuff...plasticky to me.
You know that's a shame back then you could have gotten...8 vichles for little over 20 thousand dollars.....damn!!...now you can get one for what....40 thousand dollars....or 70 thousand dollars...ha ha Haha ha Haha ha
A straight 4 has an advantage over a V6 or V8 engine because the V itself wastes energy. I had a '05 S2000...it was more fun than sex with a fat chick.
@cadillac4100 Are you seriously trying to compensate for having a small ***k? I could care less what your cousin drives. Fact of the matter is Hyundai/Kia are gunning for number one. Every model released by Hyundai is a segment leader or near the top of it's class. Sales are increasing at the expense of Toyota, Honda and the Detroit Three. Yeah, respect that.
@liddlebopeep The only thing Hyundai/Kia is gunning for number 1 is the front row seats of a garbage scow with Toyota.Hyundai a segment leader or near the top of it's class? Last class would be more like it. Youngster, Don't make me laugh! A Hyundai Elantra couldn't hold a tailpipe to any year Cadillac, heck my 1979 Eldorado,1973 Coupe deVille(2 of my 6 Caddys) will outclass & out run it.The only Detroit 4 that Hyundai & Kia will beat is Mercury,Plymouth,Oldsmobile & Pontiac. Case closed !!!!
@cadillac4100 Blah blah, no one cares about your 1970's land yachts. Those were the cars that destroyed Cadillac and GM's reputation. Bloated with poor quality, fake wire wheels, ugly vinyl roofs and engines that were choked by emission standards. Those eyesores have no redeeming qualities whatsoever. Hyundai kicks ass and there's nothing you can do about it! BTW, the Genesis would absolutely smoke your precious Caddies.
