3rd gen and commercials in the same sentence? HAH HAH HAH HAH HAH, I know I've never seen or found any, but I havent really looked all that hard. Thats kinda part of the reason we no longer hanve F-Bodies, lack of advertisement.

The only ones I have found are on the local third generation sites, but they are pretty interesting, well atleast to me. I do also agree that advertising killed our beloved F-Bodies.

When I was living in San Diego back in 86, there was a radio commercial for Camaro's. The punch line was "life just seem's a little bit better in a Camaro". I thought they were really stupid, which is why I probably still remember them!

wow, that second commercial is so bad. the part with the Iroc race cars is kinda cool though

yeah it's pretty funny in the first commercial how much they stress that the car has a corvette engine in it...and people still fall for that line today.

i thought it was great to how much the guy exxagerated getting into the backseat. it reminded me of the infomercials you see where some chef's complaining about how "normal" kitchen knives are so dull you can barely cut a tomato, and then he proceeds to massacre it, flinging tomato everywhere. it's a pain to get in the back, but not that bad...

I have many of them on my PC, and I have 2 ~10 minute long 82 and 83 Firebird infomercials.

I'll let you know what I have when I get home.

Well, I would, but some are kinda large!

I'll throw all of them on a CDR, along with plenty of f-body burnouts and antics to fill the cd if you want. Just shoot me your mailing address and I'll get it to you.
