In those days, before the widespread ownership of video tapes, the premier of a major movie - even one that was a decade old by that point - was a big deal. (And without 100+ cable channels and video games, families actually watched television together.) <br /><br />That ad still sticks in my mind. Even my parents commented on it, and said that they remembered the original ad from the early 1960s.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8929049468412686061.post-30401956424517572532014-04-08T10:41:55.864-04:002014-04-08T10:41:55.864-04:00I am looking to buy a new Chevrolet in Port Charlo...I am looking to buy a new Chevrolet in Port Charlotte.

Everybody should drive<a href="http://www.auto802.com/make-chevrolet/automotive/for-sale/" rel="nofollow">Chevrolet in Northern Vermont</a> . 4 wheel drive is a must in the winter. I'm excited for it though, I'll still be able to go up to my cabin now that I own a truck that has working 4 wheel drive. <br /><br />I like the 2014 truck grill and headlights!

I wish someone had a collection of Ford ads too. Along with those of Chevrolet they represent an interesting period of American life. And I believe the artists, photographers, art directors, and writers deserve to be remembered. They made a considerable contribution to the culture of the time.<br /><br />I haven't added to my blog in a long time because I have been writing a book similar to the blog. It is nearly finished but I don't know if it is worth publishing. Still, it was worth getting what I remember about those days down on paper. I note that many writers in the auto buff magazines call that time --the golden age. <br /><br />You outlasted me in terms of service. I spent 35 years at Campbell-Ewald but also had a couple years at Benton and Bowles on the Studebaker account and began at Kenyon and Eckhardt on the Lincoln- Mercury business.<br /><br />I am happy you are doing well and would like to communicate with you but don't know how.<br />JimJim Bernardinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16778666340086043118noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8929049468412686061.post-2219510035153831122012-01-21T20:50:47.126-05:002012-01-21T20:50:47.126-05:00Jim,

I wish that we had a collection of Ford ads. Maybe someone at Ford might have stored them in a historical file.I was with J.Walter Thompson (the World's and the U.S. largest advertising agency). I've gotta throw that in, for 39 years. Creative director and V.P. for some of that time.I spent s lot of time in New York and we all spent a lot of time in Palm Springs.I even spent over a month in France introducing the French Ford Versailles. You can't beat that.Even though Ford sold their French car to Simca. JWT, part of a"team", still has the Ford account. Hopefully, we'll have it long as CE.<br />I'm still painting. going to Lifetime four to five days a week and enjoying free meals from all of my kids.
