CLASSIC COMMERCIAL: 1980 Trans Am

Tanya Tucker Starred in a Music Video-Style Promo for Pontiac’s F-Car

With this weekend’s big football game — the name of which cannot be mentioned, for fear of NFL reprisal — much of the attention around it is focused on the television ads. Not that we would, for a second, believe you’d spend your time on this Web site rather than watching TV, we nonetheless present an ad from another era. It’s a 2.5-minute look at the “new” 1980 Trans Am, with a spandex-wearing Tanya Tucker singing “King of the Road” as she vamps around the car. Classic!
