Classic DieHard ad: apparently with a twist

The famous demo ad on a frozen lake by Die Hard batteries and Sears c. 1975 ..... with a twist it would seem. Check out the old school logo.

@tgrueskin I'm glad I'm not the only one who remembers it. I believe it aired in the mid 70's but I'm not sure. I hope its floating around somewhere and makes its way to youtube!

@hornygrk I do remember it. My uncle was the director of it, for Leo Burnett. I've been looking for it for a long time. Found his International Falls one earlier.

I recall these ads when watching Pro Bowlers Tour and Wide World of Sports when I was little. Loved the "whoosh" at the end.

Fantastic battery -- bought one at Sears Auto in Chicago -- they installed -- easy and great service -- good memories of the Sears I grew up with --

this commercial doesn't seem very dated considering it's from the seventies - looks better than most eighties commercials

I was looking for this commercial too, but I remember the car being a Superbird/Daytona - the giant winged car.

I thought it was a Cuda but I wasn't more then 7 or 8 at the time so I could be mistaken about the car.

I remember..the kid tells him "don't forget to put some gas in it" BTW I think it was a Cutlass...?

If I find it somewhere, I will let you know, but so far it looks to be lost forever. :-(

I guess it wasn't a dream or me hallucinating. It would be great if someone posted it. I'd love to see it again.
