It’s a Chevrolet Saturday here at the ‘Disco. Our first spot features the ’76 Chevy Blazer in a Montana search and rescue practice run. Narration is by singer, Tom T. Hall.
The second spot shows off the Vega and Monza engine guarantee. Both commercials aired in November of 1975.

The actress in this spot looks a bit like Blythe Danner, but I don’t believe it is. If you recognize her, please let me know. Have a happy Friday!

Dan Rown and Dick Martin checking the news ticker. (ABC promo, 1975)
“Don’t miss the fun Wednesday night at 8.”
It’s 1975 this week, and we ventured deep into the barely-remembered TV files for this one. It’s a November 1975 ABC promo for The Rowan & Martin Report.
This short-lived series featured Dan Rowan and Dick Martin of Laugh-In fame riffing on the news of the day. I remember the show, but can’t find a listing for it on IMDb or Wikipedia. It’s time on the air must have been very brief. Enjoy!
