@redesandinas I read her name was Pat Christman.

@jdollinter I agree. MOuthy, attitude, and over inflated sense of worth are what describes the american bitch today. My advice, stay away. Far away.

You could get a set of Goodrich Radial 990s and put them on your new Plymouth...Petula Clark was appearing in their ads at that time, performing their jingle--which was based on the Sonny & Cher hit "The Beat Goes On".

Love her silver mini and matching shoes. Miss those days of innocence when women still had an ounce of humility and didn't act sleazy and know it all. It was a kinder generation back then and how I miss it now. Sadly those days seem to be gone forever.

I remember this ad in 1967 and would like to know the name of the brunette model! Did she perform in outher ads, TV cameos, movies, etc?

I remember this commercial. I was about 10, and I hadn't yet heard Petula Clark's "Sign of the Times." I think this is a great example of turning a popular song into a commercial jingle.

Hear what he said, but she stomps his car flat. Any chance THAT will be on YouTube?

Years (decades?) ago the NyC public TV channel showed short films from amateur film makers. One was a parody of this commercial. The giant girl gets fingerprints on the car some guy just washed. We don

I remember seeing this commercial for the first during a commercial break for the 1968 Republican Convention--kind of weird why I remember this rather arcane piece of personal trivia.
