‘The car of the 80s is here!’ (Toyota Celica Liftback commercial, 1978)

“You asked for it, you got it – Toyota!”

With feathered hair and flares flapping in the wind we continue our 1978 weekend. Today, it’s all about Toyota.

First, we peek into the future with the new Celica that’s ready to fly off into the 1980s like some kind of Delorean. Following that, a spot for a California Toyota dealership’s “Truck-A-Thon” sale. That’s a lot of 70s pickups! Both commercials aired in January of 1978.
