That beauty needs a white racing stripe right down the hood (Chevelle commercial, 1972)
“Chevrolet. Building a better way to see the USA.”
Time to hotwire our Daily 70s Spot. On this fine Monday we have a Chevrolet commercial for the 1972 Chevelle featuring a humorous, family theme. I like this one. I think you will too. Spot aired on January 1st, 1972.

This spot reminds me of my first Guinness. There was a somewhat different aftereffect.
“The ‘Uncola’ is forever.”
All righty, let’s pour a bubbly glass full of Daily 70s Spot. Here we have a 7-Up commercial with a young love theme featuring “Her first Uncola.” Spot aired in November of 1970.

Tom Slick – he won’t quit!
Happy Funshine Friday! Here’s one of my favorite cartoon heroes. The theme song alone makes me sing-along with a smile. Tom Slick made its debut in 1967 as part of Jay Ward’s George of the Jungle show. 70s kids, like myself, grew up watching and enjoying the self-confident Mr. Slick in reruns.
Here’s a complete episode entitled “The Bad Year Blimp.” It originally aired December 16, 1967.

Here’s the first installment for something we’ll be calling 1970s Moments. Cool photos or videos that capture that tasty 70s flavor but don’t fit neatly into other categories here at Bionic Disco.
To start us off – here’s a trio of shots that capture actor Burt Ward, he played Robin on TV’s Batman, signing autographs for young fans at an in-store appearance in 1972.
The photos appeared on cartoonist Patrick Owsley‘s site. Click the photo below to hop there and see the rest.
