You could not possibly need any more wine than this. (Lancers commercial, 1974)
“Lancers – all the wine the world needs.”
Watch this Lancers wine commercial in awe as the spokesperson blends seamlessly from rosé to white, then to red, without so much as pausing for a sip. The spot aired in December of 1974.

Rejected tagline: Plymouth Space Duster – more room for all your crap!
“You can get more out of it, ’cause you can get more into it.”
We’re closing out 1972 week with two spots for Plymouth. First, we have a snappy red Space Duster and a few roommates moving into a new pad.
Second, a commercial featuring the Satellite Sebring Plus for ’73. The spokesperson looks (and especially sounds) familiar, but I can’t place his name. Your help is appreciated. Both spots aired in October 1972.
*Thanks go out to Bionic reader, Mike Lane for identifying Arthur Godfrey as the spokesperson in the Satellite spot.
