Absolutely beautiful car. Nothing like pure Detroit iron. However, the commercial would not have captured my interest in 1971. It is too pedestrian, too unnoticeable. In a word, boring. And what's with the driver wearing a helmet in a luxury car? That really makes him look a little....well, I'll keep my comment PC. Great car, lousy presentation.
Truly one of the best, most dependable, and most popular model ever produced. Contrary to a couple comments on this video from some experts at negativity, these cars were built like tanks. I happen to own two of this year and model, unrestored and just as good looking and dependable as ever. Thanks for sharing.
Some of the comments here may be implying that the Olds name was retired because of bad workmanship or poor sales. It was strictly a marketing decision by General Motors. Olds was second only to Chevrolet in popularity during the 70s when this commercial was made; people loved them.
@F41Driver lol yeah! I wonder if this car was the inspiration for the term "g-ride"

Great ad! I always admired the '71 Delta 88, especially the Royale, in which it said "Delta Royale" on the trunk deck. I really miss Olds.
