A.M.C. Hornet
Master 2 - Tape 1 AMC Hornet commercial, 1973 (alas, no sound): MS tracking shot from side and slightyl overhead - great angle - of nice-looking yellow Hornet driving down the road, sun shining off its hood. CUs of the bumper and headlights as it drives (license plate says 1973). Rear shot of Hornet as it continues to cruise down the road, alone, by the ocean. Eventually stops, driver in white and black-striped pants (GROOVY!) comes out and unlocks and opens the hatchback. He takes out a bag and the camera pans/tilts up to a purple-ish Hornet station wagon, driven by a pretty woman in white shirt and pants. She gets in door, camera zooms in to seats. WS both cars side-by-side in beach parking lot. Great 1970s scene. Slow motion footage of a Hornet test car hitting a wall (classic crash test image). A 1-2-3-4-5 gauge is on the hood, a sticker on the fender. CU Bumper hits the wall, absorbs the shock. Probably for introduction of 5-mph bumpers.
