“Chevrolet is offering a luggage rack at no charge.”

1971 today and a spot from Chevrolet. Here we find the Chevy and Chevelle wagons with a free luggage rack on offer.

What’s especially cool about this spot is it was filmed in the Burbank, CA lot where The Partridge Family was currently shooting. The commercial aired in November of 1971.
