“Tonight, let it be Löwenbräu.” (1977)
“All I could get were lobsters and Löwenbräu.”
Continuing with our 1977 theme, we have another Löwenbräu beer spot on tap. This time around we find couples on the beach, some lobsters in pails, and bottles of brew being passed around. The commercial aired in December of 1977.

“You brought home champagne!”

Get down! (Paragon down jackets commercial, 1977)
Hi there, ‘Disco dilettantes. Way back in January of 2013 I got the crazy idea to post a Seventies commercial every day for the entire year. It happened.
Now, I think I’m going to commence with the TV advertising madness again for 2016. 365 days-a-week – with a double-shot on the weekends. Crazy? Like a fox! Let’s get started by keeping with the 1977 theme for the rest of the week.
Here’s a commercial for down jackets. If you were alive in the 1970s you had one. I owned a blue one. How about you? Come back each day for another quick 30 to 60: second shot of 70s nostalgia. See you tomorrow!
Previously on 70s Spots: Budweiser ‘Wintertime’ (1977)
Probably not Bryan Cranston…
(Budweiser commercial, 1977)
“Here comes the king, here comes the big number one!”
It’s almost time to shake off the holidays and drag ourselves back to the workplace. Before we do that, let’s have one last round of beer.
Here’s two spots for Budweiser from December of 1977. First, the Budweiser Clydesdals and their Dalmation pal can be seen making their rounds through the snow. Where the heck are they going anyway?
After that, it’s a football alumni homecoming party. I thought the blond fellow serving beer might be Bryan Cranston, but a little research changed my mind. This actor looks older than 21 and different than a 1979 Cranston commercial.

Wheel out the Dry Sunoco – it’s wintertime!
