‘A vacation as unique as you are…’
“The Wings of Man.”
Let’s take to the sky today with a pair of airline commercials. First, we have a spot for the now-defunct Eastern Airlines which features narration by Orson Welles (at least, I’d wager money it’s Welles). The spot aired in January of 1974 (likely produced in ’73).
After that, a roulette wheel spins for American Airlines in a spot from May of 1977.

Seventies sports celebrities is our theme for the day. First, we have figure skater Peggy Fleming in a spot for the Canon AE-1 camera. Second, jockey Steve Cauthen for American Express.

The great British break off
“You’ll get carried away with Cadbury.”
Time for a pair of sweet treats. A commercial for Cadbury chocolate bars from November 1978, followed by a spot for Hostess snacks from September 1979.
Previously on 70s Spots: Noxzema ‘Cream Your Face’ (1972)
‘Boop!’
“Cream me!”
Happy President’s Day! A pair of Noxzema “Cream your Face!” commercials are available for you today. The spots aired in early January of 1972 and were very likely produced in ’71. I’m sure there’s no sexual innuendo involved in these ads at all.
Previously on 70s Spots: ‘The End’ (Burt Reynolds, 1978), ‘The Fish That Saved Pittsburgh’ (1979)
