    Lots of great ones out there and I'm sure many like the
    GN Bad to the Bone series, because of George Thorgood tune - and that feel and cool fashion sense , but I like when they say "200hp no time for clones"

    here's my favourite
    its for the 64 Riviera, and sure wouldn't be aired today - but in 64 it was Ok for cars to be a guy thing -

    "Riviera By Buick a great and rare machine that a woman can admire and enjoy to the fullest , but only a man can really understand ..
    I even made my own version

    funny thing is in the fifties a women's opinion as far as the value was more important

    1978 Buick Turbo advertisement, it goes something like this:

    The other cars were a Saab and a Porsche.

    I like it because it shows that back in 1978 Buick was already on the right track with small V6 engines and turbochargers :TU:

    Hey Devon, I like the '64 Riv better then the '67 Cat, but the wine glass ad is great. To me, any great Buick ad has to end with the "when better cars are built..." tag line. I simply do not understand why they don't still use it much.

    Talking about wine glasses - in the 73 Riviera promo film Rob H has ( maybe he'll make a CD of it and the others he has someday) they used a wine glass on top of a Riv 455 Stage 1 air cleaner to show how smooth it was compared to a "competitors car" (a ford, most likely a T-bird)
    These are really neat and gives tons of info - a small bit of the 75 Riv one is on his youtube page - full versions are 5-7 minutes long

    They could have used a Buick V6 for a shaken, not stirred Martini :laugh:
