Wow such great responses. I grew up in Westchester NY and that car and Ad campaign in print and TV really stuck to me my whole life. Now correct me if I'm wrong but didn't Rod Serling appear in one of those Ad's? I remember it clearly. I'm pretty sure about it.

My Mother worked for Them around the time these cars were around. I have not only seen them but have been in all 3. Sadly I have lost all pictures I have of them over the years.

I actually worked on #1 back in 77' rebuilding some areas on the body that were failing. In a body shop in Mount Kisco NY - Simone Bros. Auto Body.

I believe I saw the Anycar II (which I think was the most popular one) at a car show in the 70's as a kid. For some reason I remember they had the Godfather car with bullet holes behind some wood and you had to pay fifty cents extra to see that one lol.

This is so cool. My Dad was VP of MH in Syracuse during this promotion. I will never forget the day he pulled up with the Any Car. It was like the President pulled in... We got to ride around Cleveland NY for a whole weekend in that thing!!! I remember being so mad he couldn't get the one with the MINI CAR!!!...lol

Somewhere among my archives, I have a combined music/voiceover track for the AnyCar Loan campaign, circa 1973 -- a 7½ ips mono tape. (I worked for Y&R, the agency of record.) No visuals, but all the audio. If I can find it and digitize it, I'll pass it on.

That would be fantastic if you could find it!

And feel free to use any of the clips in this video--or the entire video itself-- for your audio track (so you'll have something to accompany your recording). And please consider posting it as a Video Response.

Thanks for the memories!

I worked for Manny Hanny Downtown. The name changed when they merged with Chemical Bank.

My dad ran that branch on 43rd st and 5th ave., as a Vice President of Manny Hanny until he retired in 1982.

MHT had some of the best advertising in the NY market in the 70's
