Vintage Firestone Tire Commercial (1978) retro advertising High quality 

This was my favorite commercial as a child. Even a 7-year old (me) knows how meaningless the 7-2-1 configuration is to anyone who doesn’t have an engineering degree. Delightfully silly.

I just remembered this last night out of the blue

I wish Firestone still made tires like that.

Why do I still remember this commercial?

7 around 2 wrapped by 1! Yay!!!

Meanwhile, the Courts were compelling Firestone to recall millions of 500 Radials due to case separation.

I was just watching a bio professor talk about the 9+2 structure of cellular filaments, and I had a vivid flashback to this commercial.
