Amongst taking pictures, snow shoveling, and a few other things done during the "Blizzard 2011 Snow Day" I had, Wednesday, February 2, 2011, I found myself watching old car ads online. It's not like I didn't have other things to do ... it was just a cool way to spend a part of the day. I noted a bunch of my favorites; the results are the links below.

At the end, I'm including a few 2011 Super Bowl commercials.... I had hoped my Dad's home-town Steelers would win, but the Green Bay Packers win includes one person that connects to the 1985 Chicago Bears, who won the 1986 Super Bowl 25 years ago ... Wayne Larrivee. Wayne was the "voice of the Bears" in that 1985 season and, 25 years later, he was the voice of the Packers for their win this year....

ENJOY!

"Guaranteed to start" __ TG Sheppard __ 'One Owner Heart'

This is a reel of '70s commercials, but the Plymouth commercial at the 3:55 mark I found pretty different, what with the terrain it's seen tackling.

Dang- another good one:
