Diehard Commercial?
 

Anyone here remember that really old Sears Diehard commercial with the white (+ custom paint)'70 GTO that the kids' parents had to borrow since the battery died in their car, and they were driving it erratically?

I remember it vividly, but wasn't sure if anyone else did.

Oh yeah. Pretty cool. Musta had a clutch cause Dad was herkin and jerkin! Do you remember what year Goat? I did not even remember it was a GTO.

Re: Diehard Commercial?
 

70 I think.

I thought that was a 68 or so Barracuda.?

Eh, that was a long time ago, lol, could have been.


Also, there was a TV movie on at the time (mid-late 70's) where these hot rodder kids were terrorizing the neighborhood in their cars. One I think was a 55 Nomad, maybe another Goat, and something else.

Anyone recall that one??

I remember this movie vividly Mark.
It's called "Outrage" with Robert Culp as the good upstanding small calif. town Dr. turned vigilante to protect his own family from teenage car thugs who terroized him,his wife & kids and of course their dog. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/frown.gif
It was a made for TV movie of the week & aired on ABC in 1973.
I was home sick that day from school when it aired and remember the campy acting,but dug the script & cars,especially that flamboyantly painted 57 Nomad.
Huh...Based on a True story.

HOT RODS TO HELL is available from Netflix. I remember laughing at how bad this movie is, but I still love the car chase scenes.

Re: Diehard Commercial?
 

Love that 56 Nomad from Outrage, lol.

So, did anyone figure out the car in the Diehard commercial?
