Yep. Used to go to lunch in the one at about 10th and Mission in SF when I worked at 11th and Mission in the early '80's. Cheap and decent food. When they closed, a friend was going to buy a head and put it on his roof to piss off his neighbors but never did. Ever go to Don Ramon's for Mexican or The Front Room for Pizza? How about House of Prime Rib?

Touching (albeit fairly unrealistic) commercial. But of course there's the now "required" mixed race couple in it. Clearly somebody hasn't told them that far more than half the country isn't that demographic. |

I grew up in Parkville and spent many Friday nights at that Burger King. I remember when it was a “Gino’s” All the hot rods were there in the 1960’s & 70’s. And yes I’ve spent a few nights at the Thunderbird too. I was a kid but my BIL had a wicked ’66 Chevelle. And another BIL had a Road Runner. Also had friends with hot rod Camaro’s and Corvette’s, etc. Also the Tops shopping center on Perring parkway. Most of the street drag racing was there on Perring parkway between the Tops and Burger King. We probably know each other or know of some same people. |

I always liked Dog 'n Suds, a similar operation to A&W. Good hot dogs and fries.

I was willing to overlook that because otherwise, the ad was good, solid Americana, but yeah, you're right. Just got to sneak that little bit in.

Well, first of all, I'm sure some did have new cars back then, but since the flashback scenes are of the husband going off to Vietnam, the car would have been several years old by that time. We started sending troops over there in the 60's, and at that point, it was just a used car.

Let's say the guy deployed early on to Vietnam, conservatively in 1965 (most soldiers went later than that, but let's just say he went early, in '65), making the Nomad an 8 year old Chevy. Did black people own cars in 1965? A black family owning a (conservative estimate) 8 year old Chevy doesn't seem like some kind of unicorn event back then.

The cars were all "n-worded" up and the drivers usually leaned way over with their right arm on the console so it was very noticeable from the outside. We liked to jerk my (white) nephew's chain cuz he drove his barges leaning over like that too. |

Probably many Chevy Nomads were driven by homosexuals in the 1950’s-60’s as well. Since according to Madison Avenue 50% of the country are homosexuals and 80-90% of the country is black. |

A Cadillac, even an older one, was seen as a status symbol to those who could not afford to buy a home or move up the socioeconomic ladder. They were all over the place. That said, I crack up when I see commercials of black folks camping, mountain climbing, kayaking, etc. Beein camping 58 years and have only seen one or two blacks in the wilderness....one Female at Zion (with a white guy) and one female at Sierra Buttes with a group of white women. When I asked a black friend of mine how come blacks never went camping, he looked at me and raised his eyebrows and said "why would I leave a perfectly good house to go out and sleep in the cold and dirt?? You're crazy!" |
