Gorgeous, all of them.
Retired in Dunedin, Florida.
OMG, I remember that commercial and Broderick Crawford's reaction!
As much as I like the Firebird I’d be hard pressed not to choose the magnificent GP.

What a terrific line up for '69! That GP was best of the bunch!
And a veritable Murderers' Row of convicts: Mike Mazurki, Elisha Cook Jr., Lon Chaney Jr., Robert Strauss and Leo Gorcey. Quite a cast for a car commercial!OMG, I remember that commercial and Broderick Crawford's reaction!
@100ford2003 Steve, I recognized Mike Mazurki and Elisha Cook Jr. but couldn't think of the others. Luckily, this video is also on YouTube, and the poster listed the cast.
@paul-rouffa That’s the coolest thing I’ve seen in a long time, thanks! I wonder if Geno will like it!?
What a cool ad. I don't remember seeing it before though.
1969 was such a great year for GM. I'd be happy with any Pontiac on that train, especially the Bonneville Brougham.

I recognized Lon Chaney, Jr. from loving his werewolf movies, Elisha Cook, Jr. for his roles in two of our favorite Bogart movies, and at the end of the lineup, Forest Tucker..
@jack-dodds I agree Jack. The dashboard is the greatest.
John, you had me drooling my coffee all over me this morning, lol.🤤 A big thank you. I wish I'd never sold my '69 GP. 😢
