Union 76 Commercial 1970

[schnellguy]

I lived in the LA area in the 80s,Union 76 still had 98 octane leaded gas.My 67 ford with a 390 engine loved it.

If this ad is from 1970, it could very well be one of the first ads for which Union 76 (as most of us prefer to know the company as) had used its "Spirit" slogan. Previously, they used the older jingle "The Sign of the 76."

Times have changed! Today many stations even charge for air!!

[removetube]

Union 76 commercials, remind me of watching the Dodgers back in the day, those and farmer john ones. lol

[chabba77]

The music in this ad was an excerpt of "76 Trombones", from The Music Man. Meridith Wilson wrote it.

[caljees]

Actually, the actor driving the car is the late Dick Yarmey. He was the brother of Get Smart star Don Adams (real name Donald James Yarmey).

Back in the 70's everything had a magenta hue to it. yeah I know, it's what happens to film over time.

Hey, that's Casey Kasem! AT40 was launched in July of this year. So I wonder if he did voiceover work before or after?

[abathens]

I think your right..had to go back and listen a 2nd time. Must have been some of his early work, because it didn't sound like Casey in his prime.

The man behind Scooby-Doo's Shaggy.

I miss the old gas stations.Sometimes you'd get a free map with a fillup,a coffee cup or some trinket.The guy would wash your windows,check your oil & tire pressure.Plus gasoline didn't cost you a weeks pay.

[Cattt01]

i remeber when we travelled some of the '76s had breakfast buffets. : )

Reed your 20 years old,that's the language used in the world in 1970, kid.

[gingermol76]

Hey Reed488--Chill out.

[djminimoto]

Yeah. Really.

[Reed488]

I know it was a different era, but instead of referring to his assumed wife by her name (or "love" or "sweetheart"), he bluntly referred to her as "woman". I find that to be rude and disrespectful. (By the way, I am a male)

[boardskins]

I call my wife "woman" all the time. She thinks it's funny. Now a days they say "bitch" and "ho". Lighten up.

casey!!!!!!!

[jennifer91941]

Isn't that Larry Linville (Frank Burns from MASH) driving?

[palmercomm]

No, Linville's voice was a little higher than the driver's.

Casey Kasem does the voiceover in this 1970's Union 76 TV commercial.
