No - No Corvair in the Transformers movie! But In my reading of the
newspaper a few days ago, I noticed that Chevrolet had "parted ways" with
Campbell-Ewald Advertising. That company had been the Chevy Ad agency since the
1930 or 40s. That is a long time - eons in the ad biz. Dave Newell gave me a
tape of a Campbell-Ewald promotional movie made for Chevy in the
mid-1990's. It had excerpts from Chevy Commercials from the 30's through the current
ones. Dinah Shore sang! I likes the Corvair snippets - Including the
Bonanza Chevy intro from 65. And I really like the Jimi Hendrix soundtracked 93
Camaro intro. Back to the movie - Chevy had a big presence in the
Transformer movie, at some points it looked like an ad for GM. Actually, the TV
presentation was sponsored totally by Chevrolet! But I need to comment that the
target market that Chevy sought by sponsoring this movie was probably
correct, and certainly reached, (and probably touched by Megan Fox) the only
problem is the biggest fans won't be old enough for a drivers license for 8
to 10 years!
Have a great weekend - Mine starts now!
