RETROVISION: Don't worry kid, the Caprice will save your dog Posted 2010/07/23 @ 2:00 PM By Myles Kornblatt
Welcome to RetroVision – a section devoted to classic advertisements and promotions. Sometimes it takes a few decades for a piece to be fully appreciated, and sometimes items can be hilariously outdated…either way it is very entertaining.
We won’t pretend like we know everything about the GM’s B-body cars, but we’re pretty sure ‘bringing your dog back to life’ isn’t on the options list. Maybe the purpose of this commercial from Mexico is to show Sparky liked the ride in the Caprice Classic so much he chose it over the doggie afterlife.
We don’t know if this helped sell a lot of full sized cars in Mexico. We just hope it didn’t cause a rush at the dealership of little Mexican boys begging to take their dead dog for a test drive:
**NOTE: although it is easy to blow things out of proportion for humor, a quick/broad translation of the bad audio at the end of this ad basically says, 'anything is possible with the luxuries of the Caprice!'
