Pontiac used to build excitement
You've probably heard the news that GM is ending the Pontiac line of automobiles. Here's a commercial from their glory days, the 1980s. And I mean the commercial screams 1980s. The song, the editing, the way it was filmed, the clothing. The only thing missing is a cameo by Don Johnson having a shootout with a drug dealer. So long, Pontiac. You served Jim Rockford and Michael Knight well.

Man, does that bring back memories. The driving beat, the lighting, the clothes. I'm so there, Dude!

Oh man I remember this jingle - it kind of had a Rick Springfield vibe to it back then.
And Pontiac goes way back ... even the Monkees had a Pontiac GTO.
RIP

The two big huge neon records from Yonge Street in Toronto have appeared in many comercials and films. Sadly they just took them down this year. Funny how old video envokes different memories in different people.
