Happy Funshine Friday! Just for you, here’s a fresh batch of exciting seventies commercials. We begin with good ol’ Vivian Vance as Maxine in a spot for Maxwell House. Vance did a whole series of these Maxwell House spots late in the decade.
Following that, you’ll enjoy commercials for Hush Puppies shoes, The Great Gassers toy racers, and Goodyear. See ya on Monday.
