Daewoo Royale diesel 1979 commercial

[xxwzaebd]

People in communist countries like north korea, soviet, east germany or yugoslavia were not allowed to have tv.Maybe some of them had color tv broadcast earlier than Korea but it doesn't mean anything since they were not to make any color tvs.

[xxwzaebd]

We had a Record Royale at that time and most cars were coloured black. It was driven by a driver for a short time since it was that way back then.

Nice video!

[kmfw72]

South Korea didn't get colour TV until 1980 - even North Korea had it by then.

[m35a2]

But Almost North Korean didn't get TV.

[kmfw72]

You mean most people in North Korea.

[12valvepower1]

DPRK POWER

[kmfw72]

Nah, North Korea imports second had cars from Japan (even though the steering wheel is on the wrong side)

[jado2000]

@kmfw72 N.Korea ,may already had colour TV during 1980's but during the 1990's S.Korean people upgreaded their B/W Tv to Color and North Korean had to sell it for food.

[kmfw72]

@jado2000 Sure - many poor and undeveloped countries in Africa got TV before South Africa, which didn't have it at all until 1976 - but had the advantage of being able to go straight to colour, and more people able to afford TV.

Daewoo was top leading automaker in Korea until early or mid 1980s that Hyundai introduced their legendary Sonata.

[odzadze123]

After Toyota's withdrawal in 1972, Shinjin Motor started a joint venture with General Motors under the name General Motors Korea, but was renamed again in 1976 to Saehan Motor. After the Daewoo Group gained control in 1982 the name was changed to Daewoo Motor

1 mile run up to jump. at 45 miles per hour

[odzadze123]

GM Daewoo Auto & Technology (GM Daewoo or GMDAT) was first established as National Motor in 1937 in Bupyeong-gu, Incheon, South Korea. After changing its name to Saenara Motor in 1962, Saenara Motor was bought by Shinjin Industrial in 1965, which changed its name to Shinjin Motor after establishing collaborations with Toyota.

[Opelkadett1200]

yes. this is an Opel Rekord E1. The clone of a Rekord E1.

[cirenow]

How many times do I have to tell these idiots that """"this car is rebadge of Opel???? Daewoo just bought the rights to do so.

[odzadze123]

Daewoo have always been linked to GM...or GM alaways had Actually in the 1970s Daewoo were building Toranas (badged as "Chevrolet 1700") - including a 'Torana' variant Australia never had - a WAGON

[whattheheck1000]

For the rekord, that's a Rekord clone.

[jaimehatespapi]

The commercial has a very Communist tone to it :-)

[Keijz74]

Very BOMBASTIC. Like all Daewoo commercials in the seventies / eighties. GENERAL Motors?

[coolpigna]

Korean Opel Rekord, Only a Korean Opel

[brigiolas]

it looks like an opel rekord

[cirenow]

no. koreans bought license and rights for rebadging Opel unlike chinese companies today which makes knock-offs and clones without permission and not guilty about it.

[joh2]

Ah, an Opel Rekord clone!!!
