I found a another old commercial movie on the web.

Leif Eriksson's posted a video on the Facebook page 1957-1958-1959 plymouth fans.

It is a Forward Look 1959 commercial from the Fred Astaire show. Showcasing Plymouth, Dodge, De Soto, Chrysler and Imperial.
The Commercials is from the Fred Astaire show showing the all new 1959 Chrysler Corporation models.

Thanks Dan,

This is a good collection of old time commercials. They are quite fun to see again.

The link woorks for me. I am using a laptop PC and I have Adobe Flash installed in my operationg system.
If I use my iPad I can't run applications using Flash Player.

Yup - Steve Jobs had a thing about Flash. (*sigh*...) Flash (flv) is the lingua franca of YouTube, but even they are adopting MP4. It's on my "To Do" list to convert all videos on the site to standard videos that can be run from any modern browser without plug-ins.

But, folks will have to wait for me and Ron to update the site. It will be getting a critical look over the holidays, while software developers are working on "extensions" that will make the site more navigable and user friendly. Stay tuned - good things are coming!
