1969 chevrolet caprice commercial

[crazeyspivey]

Liquid Tire Chain........Incredible! The car actually squirts this crap down on the tire to get you unstuck. Amazing.

[switchmaker]

Talk about custom ordering cars. My Dad was on the cheap side, he ordered a '67 4dr. Impala. Did get the white running lights but went cheap after that, 283 eng. 2sp Auto, No PS, No PB, No Tires. He got the tires from his work cheaper than chev.

[contractki11er]

the head light washer's are only spraying the bottom of the lights lol, but regardless its still cool

These cars were huge by todays standards BUT the weight issue is another matter. Cars have been gaining serious weight over the years w/all the options and safety features yet they get far better gas mileage due to far more efficient engines that are smaller, more powerful and better on gas. A Cadillac today almost weighs the same as this car but it is smaller and gets good gas mileage.

[lasuvidaboy]

I recall that the headlight washers was either standard or optional on only cars equipped w/the optional hide-a-way headlights.

[auaiao9]

@lasuvidaboy I didn't remember Chevy having them but I remember Chrysler did.

[lasuvidaboy]

@auaiao9 My '69 Camaro SS/RS had the headlight washers and I don't know if this feature was standard or optional w/the hide-a-way headlight option. In those days almost everything was an option and why you could actually customize your car before it was built! That is what made the US car companies the big money.

[auaiao9]

@lasuvidaboy It seems like people ordered their cars the way they wanted them instead of ordering "packages". Didn't Chrysler's headlight washers also have motorized brushes that swiped the lights clean after they were sprayed? Maybe it was just on the Imperial. ?

[lasuvidaboy]

@auaiao9 I've read that the 1970 or '71 Imperials came w/a washer AND small wiper that worked when the regular windshield wipers were in operation. The reason for these washers and wipers were the headlights may get dirty when the headlight doors are closed as well as not being cleaned when a car is washed. The washer system was a safeguard to ensure clean headlights.

[iluvrachellef]

WTF? I didnt know the Caprice could wash its headlights....WOOOOW!!!!!!!!!!­!!!

[barriobajaj]

What! No fender skirts? I guess being in the snow, I would just be another place to rust.

[VladBlok28]

69 lol

[gildavis]

That was back when full size meant full size. It's a shame they don't make them out of steel anymore.

[Annihilator1111]

the 1965-1970 Chevrolet Caprice was assembled in Atlanta, Georgia, United States Arlington, Texas, United States Doraville, Georgia, United States Flint, Michigan, United States Framingham, Massachusetts, United States Janesville, Wisconsin, United States Lordstown, Ohio, United States Los Angeles, California, United States Norwood, Ohio, United States South Gate, California, United States St. Louis, Missouri, United States Tarrytown, New York, United States Wilmington, Delaware, United States

[adape0884frank]

That sexy voice is so convincing

[EasternMerchant]

:(  I missed this commercial by 42 years......*cries*

[surfandsand2]

I had one. what a piece of scrap iron.

[sldl04]

@surfandsand2

They beat the junk that Detroit turns out today.

[TUFFGUYS1]

the mid to late 60s were chevy's prime! i dont mind today's veichles but its all about the 60s before there was any such thing as this thing called "internet"

[GayUOPXBoy10]

That car has better features on it than my 99 crappy Camry!!

[montecarlo0]

I love the YouTube community, were else can folks sit on their RUSTY- DUSTY & NIT-PIT every little detal. AHHH only in AMERICA.

[Manongjojo]

That rear wheel Snow melter turned out being a peice of junk. GM only put it on like 1000 cars before they got rid of it. All it was is a plastic bottle in the inner wheel well that squirted fluid onto the rear tires.

[EbonyBunny1]

@Manongjojo Did any other GM car have this. I never read about it for Olds or Buick or Caddy.

[buffaloborn71]

It cleaned it's own headlights? how?

[donpitote]

back than gm was something. now gm cars are nothing. compared to the inports

[GayUOPXBoy10]

@donpitote What is an inports? A car is a car dumbass!!

[catalina31768]

That's my grandma in the commercial. She still has that car. She still sets the thermostat to 80. 

[1969pontiac1]

@catalina31768 That is your grandma in the 69 Chevy commercial? My grandma had a 69 Impala with the 350 Love that Caprice.....69 was one of GMs best year for car's.

[jjpeterson1]

@catalina31768 does she still look that good?

[GayUOPXBoy10]

@TheLizardKing1967 What a dumb comment to make!

[GayUOPXBoy10]

@TheLizardKing1967 And that makes me a dumb fuck... glad your comment was removed!

[GayUOPXBoy10]

@TheLizardKing1967 Yeah.... go ahead and post your dumb comment again douchebag....it will just make you look like the idiot you are! 

[GayUOPXBoy10]

@TheLizardKing1967 Clearly, there is something very wrong with you... I actually pity you!

[franknigai]

i want liquid tire chain

[GeorgeVreelandHill]

They made real cars in those years.

Solid and sharp.

The '69 Caprice is an example of that.

[OleVanDole]

That commercial worked on me :P

Want a caprice now...

[lasuvidaboy]

For some reason it did'nt have the power door lock option.

[jferg7159]

Interesting, all those options, but at 0:40 she locks the door manually.

[1969pontiac1]

@jferg7159 Notice, the maunel outside mirror and no tilt or cruise... I guess that was a special order car. With the Auto A/C and Power windows you would think it would have tilt and cruise. That is one pretty car. I miss the days when GM made cars like that. NO airbags , but steel beams in the door and steel surrounding you. Energy aborbing Steering column, and padded inside. Safe for then in 69.

[lasuvidaboy]

All those options added to big profits for GM in those days. Cars like this Caprice could really be customized at the factory to your personal taste from the options list you filled out if you chose to custom order your car. Today's cars come in only a few variations w/limited options and color choices compared to those days.

[paulsonjeff]

this car should have a built in liquor cabinet for the elegant lady

[njot3]

I'm surprised that the Caprice offered these features so many years ago. Even though it was the top of the line Chevrolet, it was still a Chevrolet, not a Buick.

[wyecee]

Today's Chevrolet is still supposed to be the likes of THIS one.

[327caprice]

Oh Darling, might our next car have Liqui-tirechain?.......whats with the manual door locks? It dunt make no konna sense!

[fillmore593]

WOW! I had no idea that Chevy offered such cool gadgets. My 70 Cadillac didn't come with all those cool goodies.

[327caprice]

I just love Comfortron !!!

[1969pontiac1]

@327caprice GO COMFORTRON!!!!! A BEAUTIFUL CAPRICE! Even the motor's had names... Turbo Thrift , 6 Turbo-Fire...327.350 Turbo-Jet 396, 454. Those were the days for the American cars. OLD's Rocket 350, 455.

[centurion1479]

Yeah! most all of the 69 Gm full sizes were great looking,I liked the Bonneville as well, but the olds was a Bloated Barge!!LOL

[OldsVistaCruiser]

@centurion1479 - That's why, if you had an Olds, you stepped down to the Cutlass Supreme, or if you wanted limousine room without a bloated exterior, you went to the Vista Cruiser, which had the tinted skylight over the 2nd seat, and could seat 8 comfortably with the available forward-facing 3rd seat. However, even though the Vista was an Olds, this Chevy had a lot more available options than you could get in the Olds wagons.

[centurion1479]

THE best looking Caprice EVER!!!!!

[1969pontiac1]

I agree, I would love to find one just like that one. 1969 was one of the best years in all brands. My dad had a 69 Bonneville, I was nine, and I went car looking with him. He looked at the Chevrolet, and a couple of other brands. My dad was a salesman and he was so inpressed with the Pontiac salesman I think that is why he bought the Pontiac. I don't recall but dad said he started at the trunk and went though the whole showing him the car. It was a 4 door hardtop, A/C tilt cruise power locks FM

[bronxfireradio]

COMFORTRON!!

[69Cabeast]

@bronxfireradio as apossed to MEGATRON!!!! lol

[jpeter741]

Liquid tire chain?

[1969pontiac1]

I have the Lit on the Full size 1969 Chevrolet, it talks about it in the options page but does not say much about it. I am going to find a 69 owners manuel and I bet it lays it out in that. If I find one and understand it better, I will e-mail you. Everybrand had a name for their A/C. Four season was Chevy's reg A/C. Buick called their Climate control, and their Auto they called it Auto Climate control. Pontiac called the reg a/c Custom a/c, and the auto was called set and forget...

[jpeter741]

Thanks

[EbonyBunny1]

@1969pontiac1 Chevy called theirs "Four Season Air Conditioning" there is a web site called oldcarbrochures . com

[lasuvidaboy]

@jpeter741 It was a short lived option on Chevrolets. My heavily optioned '69 Camaro SS/RS convertible came with it. It was an anti-freeze type of liquid that was sprayed on the rear tires w/a push of a button.
