“A penny saved is a penny earned.”
Hi, all. Continuing with the getting back-on-track – here’s another lot of vintage commercials for you. I’m scrolling back to the start of the decade with four spots from 1970 to ’71.
In pole position, a classic Volkswagen Beetle commercial you may have seen on “Best Of Commercials” type shows. After that one, there’s good spots for Snowy Bleach, Hefty Scrap Bags (with Jonathan Winters as a tomato), and Maxwell House coffee. I hope ya enjoy.
