Continuing a thread about vintage TV ads we last did on Saptember 9, todays post delves into 1950's and 1960's Commercial Land. To get in the mood, it's time for a cuppa joe from Conquistador Coffee!
Since the September 9 post started with animated ads, here are two very good ones plugging Lucky Strikes.
Not sure if a celebrity is one of the dancing Old Gold cigarette packs in this ad, but that's how we'll start the Celebrity Cigarette Commercials compendium.
With a few cups of java now consumed, we now watch a Winston Cigarettes ad from the Beverly Hillbillies TV show starring Buddy Ebsen and Irene Ryan.
Here, a manafuctured couple (Rob & Laura Petrie) and a real one, Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz, adeptly sell smokes!
While the following compilation mostly consists of car commercials, there is a great Viceroy Cigarettes ad starring a pre-Batgirl Yvonne Craig; yes, Viceroy's got the taste that's right. It's the third one in the mix and starts at 1:00.
Here, the excellent vocalist and actress Julie London sings one of the Marlboro jingles ("you've got a lot to like with a Marlboro, filter, flavor, flip-top box).
In closing, we extend a prominent top Hat tip to Tim Romano for the following terrific compilation of amazing commercials, mastered from 35mm.
