Yes, I would really rather have a Buick. I'd forgotten that ad campaign was used as early as 1964; I thought it was more a late Sixties, early Seventies campaign.

these '60's ads are real funny; "brakes that stay with you"? where were they going to go? "switch pitch" tranny? how many people really knew what that meant? "more carefully placed insulation"? what, were they careless before? great looking car, all the '65 GM A bodies were cool.
