1980 Hess GMC Motorhome Commercial

This Hess Truck commercial features the 1980 Hess Training Van and was the first TV commercial used to market a Hess Toy.
Before 1980, promotion of the Hess Toy Trucks was done solely through newspaper ads and signs at the Hess gas stations.

For those who are wondering, this has the weird audio because this was one of the 50th anniversary videos on the hess toy truck channel.

Oh, so it wasn't the VHS player having tracking issues as it played the tape?

Cool. What year, length, model, Don? We're interviewing and/or videotaping walkarounds by owners of GMC motorhomes for this channel if you're interested in being featured at some point. 🙂

Where is the original audio?

I believe this was a Christmas edition hence the different audio bed.
The song used here by the advertising agency back then:
