- From the Dodge Boys! With Joan Parker and Stu Gilliam. Gilliam was a regular for a while on Rowan & Martin's Laugh In on NBC TV during the late 1960's
LOVED THOSE MINI-SKIRTS AND GO-GO BOOTS!!!!!!
SKIRT GOTTA BE SHORTER.THATS TOO LONG LIVING THE ERA AND SOME WERE SHORTER THAN THAT
Yeah the car to
I have a feeling this car is going to be iconic.
Commercials back then were fun and innocent. Today, the commercials are either depressing or aggressively narcissistic.
And today's commercials have to show diversity.
@@waverly2468, Strange, because I see diversity in this one too.
Or just irritating. The more irritating the better it seems for the insurance commercials.
Or corny like those lousy insurance commercials. Those insurance companies commercials are who can make the stupidest most annoying commercials.
The few commercials I see because I haven't had regular TV since 2007 try to be funny where it actually goes flat. It seems like they assume everybody is stupid and things have to be dumbed down in a hipster sort of a way.
My Gosh. She was completely adorable. Very stunning. I love her voice too. Sweet but not overly sexy or contrived.
me too, i just love the sound and looks of 1969 Dodge Charger and Charger RT
Too bad she’s like really old or dead now
The whole thing was very contrived. But I still like her. 😊
Wonderful ad right across the board, back when it was not only acceptable but really kinda sweet for a young lady like this to be "perky". Perky doesn't mean you're weak or stupid; it means you're actually enjoying life!
OK OK I'm sold so where can I go get my 69 charger before they're all gone?
Barrett Jackson, or eBay
@@Shade_tree_garage01, or just buy a new Charger.
@@Neville60001 Those are ugly
@@Neville60001 The 4 door grocery getters? I don't think so. Challenger yes, for sure.
Neville6000
Ew, the 4 door Karen cars? Hell no!!
Nice body style, the cars aren't bad either.
No, it's "Nice body style, the woman isn't that bad either". The '69 charger is by far my favorite car.
@@michaeldigregorio7415 read it again there sparky, that's what was inferred in the original comment without mentioning "woman".
@@markmccarty1275 : Yeah, but what I think Michael was implying is that he likes the Charger's body better than Joanie's!
(I agree that the 1968-1970 Chargers are some of the best-looking cars ever made, but I still don't think I would go _that_ far! 😁)
@@Milesco Yeah that is the implied meaning :)
I like the car more than the lady next to it lol
oh yeah this is my other account.
Just think, some young guy in Vietnam back then was dreaming of getting home to buy one of those cars. I wonder how many dreamed and never made it home alive to do just that.
You're right. Not to mention having a girlfriend like that to go with it!
"kman 4443," Wow; way to put a damper on a message board for all those Dodge Charger dreamers and Joan Parker fans; or simply those legions of men and women, nostalgic for their youth in the late 1960s -- by bringing up body bags of the unfortunates that were in American positions in South Vietnam.
For the GIs and Marines in the thick of it back then "dreaming of getting home to buy one of those cars," is surely trumped by three out of four males "dreaming of getting home to reunite or meet up with a girl like Joan Parker." As our host "OsbornTramain" makes abundantly clear with this ad, Ms. Parker (or 'Joanie,' as Stu Gilliam addresses her in other Dodge commercials of the era) is blessed with a face, smile and ultra-feminine voice MADE for being a pitch woman and lady friend / spouse plus equally gifted with a figure MADE for fashionable mini-skirts and knee-high, white leather boots -- for the unattached only of course.
"OsbornTramain," thanks much for posting. P.us, congratulations on nearly 300,000 views and your 3k 'thumbs up' votes.
I was seven years old, and getting ready for school, when mom said she had a surprise for us outside. It was my dad's brand new 69 Charger SE with a 383 4bbl automatic. I still remember climbing around the inside and sitting behind the wheel. I love this commercial because the first car she shows in the light green metallic is the same color as my dad's. He had the black vinyl roof. Between watching Bullitt in the drive-in, and my dad's car, I have been hooked since. I now own a 66 Charger.
Did your dad find himself wishing it had a 440 with a 4-speed?
Actually my dad was a convertible guy. He wanted a Coronet because the Charger wasn't available in one, but my mom didn't like rag tops, and we had nasty winters back then in upstate NY. He got a good deal on the Charger. Even the 383s are big
bucks today.
My dad ordered my mom a brand new 69 Charger it was white with a black vinyl top and white interior , I just loved that car,they traded it in for a 74 Charger SE not nearly as nice as the 69.
AHHHHH! Joan Parker , the stuff dreams were made from.... several, as I recall! lol
Stu Gilliam was a hilarious comedian. He actually moved to and lived in the Czech Republic many decades ago. Passed away in 2013.
When the cars and women were beautiful.
Sure would love to be able to go back in time and buy a couple of those!!
and the cars also
Buy now pay later
You know you love chargers when you don't actually notice the hot woman until you read the comments
What hot woman???
Hahaha didn't even notice🤣
That woman was hot, the car wasn't bad either. I didn't know it was about a car until I read the comments
@@allenferris6972 it's the dodge rt
69 Chargers are the most in demand classic cars of all time. Rust buckets are going for 10K. I was in high-school when muscle cars were just 3 year old used cars. I am a Chevy guy, like my father before me, but unless you spent cubic dollars upgrading a Chevy, or a Ford, all you saw was Mopar tail-lights. No tinkering required. Just mash the "go pedal" and hang on.
Chrysler never built a "grocery getter 340. Every 340 was a fire-breathing monster. Small block Chevy's were like belly-buttons; everybody had one.
The build quality of the Mopars was laughable. If you closed the door, the whole car would rattle for a week. Basically, a piece of tin with a motor, but oh what a drive-train. Mopar's were Cheap and Un-beatable in stock form at a stop light.
High performance Big Block GM's and Fords were expensive, so they were rare. Mopar's were cheap, and they ruled the streets in 1973 when I was in high school. I know, I was there.
Teresa67 Factoid...they already had the perfect combination, 2 door mid size coupe (coronet or satellite) that had a nice look, and they were already punching out 383's and 440's for newports and new yorkers, so no development was necessary...Don't agree with your assessment of the build quality...I live in eastern ontario, lots of road salt, the fords, especially, had holes in them you could throw a cat through in 4-5 yrs, that and mushy coil springs made them death traps in no time...got sued over the crappy steel they used and lost...Mopars held together the best of all of them, especially the C bodies...
they are in demand but not more than another Mopar, e-bodies, 1970-1973 Cudas and Challengers.
I think I read that a million 383s were produced. Everything they were in ran strong.
@@lesliehorwinkle I heard 3 million 383s were built.
All car of that error were rust buckets as the sheet metal was brought over from china on barges exposed to salt water for weeks
Blue eye brunettes are the prettiest.
Blue the prettiest
Yes they are, but just sent me Julia Voth, you can have the woman in this video.
not a bunch of tattoo's either...she was a real all american girl...that's for sure..
Oh, yeah!!☺ You got it!☺
Yeah, she was my favorite Dodge girl.
In high school my buddy saved up all his money and got a 1970 Charger R/T Special. 440, brand new, leather seats, power everything. Unbelievably fast!
Lemme guess he sold it
The sunroof option has to be pretty rare.
Not a huge mopar guy, but that's the first sunroof I've ever seen on a Charger.
Definitely only dozen people have said there was no sun roofs there was this is why Chevrolet did everything possible to kill the old charger lines because they took on a sun roof probably would have stayed in production to current days and probably wouldn’t look like a Nissan nx240 4 door sedan with electric fuel injection system and a computer system that I cannot indorse or waist my money and time on . Or how about every car manufacturer there is . It’s all computer system controlled garbage . And you can shovel it .
I wonder how long those sunroofs continued to function? How many months? 24 of the outside is my bet
@@PlumbNutz Probably LEAKED like a sieve !
@@TheOzthewiz Actually, no. I had the same model (or very similar) factory sunroof in my ‘69 Mercury Cougar. ALL of the big 3’s sunroof conversions were specially done by ASC (American Sunroof Corp). The cars would be shipped from the Detroit area factory to ASC’s shop in Warren, MI for the work and then sent back. The way they work is by using a cable system with a worm gear motor that draws and pulls the metal roof panel back and forth. The system is actually designed to sort of “leak”. It’s meant to be naturally tight to repel the water, but if it gets through, there is a tray with ‘nipples’ at the front corners with plastic tubes attached. The overflow water drains down the tubes which go down inside the A-pillars and dump out underneath directly below the car in line with the A-pillars. The trick was, you did /do have to blow dirt/gunk out of the tubes with compressed air or water maybe once a year to keep them clean or they eventually would leak. But as long as the tubes were clear, no leaks!
@@mattskustomkreations Very cool piece of history in the world of sunroofs!
I love those old commercials as they got strait to the point with a little humor !
She was lovely. Crazy about those Chrysler Corp gear-reduction starters !
The beautiful sound of those engines starting...
yup - but the Mopar starter spinning for like 5 seconds was not a good feature LOL
The days when women weren't covered in scribble and act like blokes.and of course the cars were real cool.
And a woman was a woman, not a dude living a lie in a dress.
@@kman-mi7su Michael scott impression : THANK YOU!
@@kman-mi7su damn right
Right on Mate
And thin no junk food!
How cool would it have been to find this on TH-cam 50 years later and say "Hey that was me on this commercial!"
BLACK GUY IS CLEAVON LITTLE BEFORE BLAZING SADDLES
Love the green with white top....that green color is incredible
Women wore skirts and dresses and kept fit and enjoyed their femininity...
Exactly! Today women want to be men & men want to be women??!! What's up with that??
Yes, and femininity is a beautiful thing ladies. Real men can appreciate it.
@@kman-mi7su Yea lot of them arent submissive anymore and that shit was key in a woman. Feminism ruined it in rhe digital age.
Yes. No comic book billboard tattoos and fishing tackle hanging from the nose.
@@FL8mileshigh1No rainbow coloured hair or jingoistic pronouns either. I was blessed to have been born in the early 60's. Too young to buy a Charger new, but I made up for it in my teens when nobody wanted them and I could buy a good one for under $1000.00. 😊
Yes ! When I was 16 I bought a 69 Dodge Charger 500, hemi, 4 speed. 6 months and 3 speeding tickets later my parents made me sell it... I loved that car !!!
@@ajp368 Hell yes, Wednesday nite at OCIR in SoCal,. It would run a a high 12 second Quarter with me driving, I ran that thing at least 50 times. Funny thing was the cars that would beat me, one was a VW Karman Giha, but he probably had to rebuild it every other week !!
You mean you're parents bought it and sold it basically
@@brandonbell5357 I paid for every penny of that car, worked my ass off for it...
Such beautiful clear anunciation, seldom heard today.
Can we go back to the days where women dressed and behaved like that?
Come to Asia my friend. The west is dead.
Yes, i like to be teased instead of having everything hanging out all the time.
@@shogunero3.6 interesting remark. It has a great percent of truth to it. West may eventually stabilize one day. probably. most likely. After all those many many decades of excess, party, abundance, greed, narcissism, lust, egocentrism, selfishness...it will recover. I miss them already.
how i wish
Thank you, OsbornTramain! Thank you!! Dodge Fever TV commercials with Joan Anita Parker in them--which I learned to appreciate, and to love her, 47 years ago--had become the scarcest thing in life, until you came along!!! Please bring us more, and keep them available.
Somewhere, a little kid watched this commercial. Today, he is now known as Dominic Torretto.
+The Shadow Chicken But....But Vin Diesel is Dominic and he was born in 1967, so he couldn't have......
I know he is Vin Diesel. But he could've watched the commercial.
when he was 2?
OsbornTramain I WAS TRYING TO BE FUNNY! *cries* Shut up! I tried :'c
Doms charger is a 1970 tho
Back when women were skinny and didn't act like men.
You must have a Thai wife, one Dodge and one Swiss credit card! :)
And covered in hideous tattoos!
She became an SJW @Gregory Underwood and had two Gay Sons ????

Or they were really men who insisted you play along with their lie or you're a homophobic/racist/insert whatever name/bigot.
@Pobby Jenkins She turned total SJW had two Gay Sons.. was a Feminst and all for LBGTQG ect what a disapointment
This video is so clear compared to others from the day
+Bob Silver It all depends on how film is stored and tapes stored. Also in the case of tapes, how many times it's been recorded or re-recorded. This is from a very old Sports Broadcast original Video Feed.
OsbornTramain It just looks awesome, glad I found it on TH-cam!
I was glad I found it period and uploaded this one.....glad you like the video!!!! More to come.
Bob Silver one in those 3 chargers was proubly converted into a general lee
@@OsbornTramain, please keep them coming.
I'll take them all.
What a great era.
Advertising works. I ended up buying one of these just 51 years after this ad came out.
They are never the same after high mileage and restorations.....wish I had a new one.
40 percent increase in sales due to the change in body style with the 1968. These cars are incredibly expensive and finding a matching numbers rt is pretty much impossible. Still selling out in 2017. Lol
In 2017 I bought a 2015 RT Dodge Challenger, In 2 months it was TOTALED. Staged Crash no doubt.
Corruption Exempt Enterprise💯👹
Joan Parker was sure good looking!
When a commercial didn't annoy you.
Plus, only A SINGLE MINUTE of advertising (one 60 sec.commercial or two 30's) aired at each of the act breaks on sitcoms, two or three, or dramas, four acts plus a teaser pre main titles or 'tag' / epilogue post the last act. Instead, today viewers are bombarded with a dozen commercials of varying lengths in four-minute to six-minute 'pods.'
Watching this was fun, in more ways than one. 1) Nostalgic, 2) appealing to car aficionados and 3) admirers of Joan Parker or females like Joan Parker.
"Do you know the way to San José" from Burt Bucharach background music.
*Nice commercial for Dodge cars. I"d like to live in 1969 in any USA state, 30 years old, married, in a midle class house, going to buy a new '69 Dodge.*
Christ, SouthAmerica.
love listening to them start!
Just imagine all the ones that were crushed in the late 70s and early 80s due to no interest from the public
Painted them orange and put confederate flags on the roof
Love these commercials
Real class
This reminds me of a meme I saw once where they show a young lady from the late ‘60’s dressed like Joan Parker in this commercial with those same GoGo boots driving a muscle car and it said “Your grandma wore mini skirts, gogo boots, and drove a Mustang GT, listened to The Beatles & The Rolling Stones, and you will never be as cool as she was”.
I guess “grandma” showed up at the Dodge dealer after the White Hat Special Chargers were all gone and had to settle for a Mustang. 😄😄😄.
now these were cars love this commercial it's so clear . I wonder how did those cars smell back then when buyers first purchase them brand new ?
There was some serious off-gassing with those vinyl interiors...
Probably coal dust and beige
They smelled of formaldehyde and paint, at least my dad's brand new 1965 Chevy Impala 9 passenger station wagon did. That was until Jerry dumped his milkshake in the way-back seat and stunk-up the car forever after.
@@toddburgess6792 I'm so old, I'm sure I'll be smelling like formaldehyde soon enough!
Well based on all the good stuff was going around a lot of people were banging in the back seats so probably smelt like sex
Miles ahead of the WOKE commercials today.
Couldn't agree more . Back then i could ask her if she wanted to have a 69 and not get arrested ! lol
Black Jake at State Farm....WOKE is such bullshit
7natcho hahhah
And it's even got a black man with a white woman
How dumb are you not to see this as a "woke" commercial of the day? Go turn Faux News back on so you can continue to be a pawn in their culture wars.
Had a 69' R/T almost exactly like the one shown. Still miss it alot.
Me too......440 4 speed red/black vinyl top and black stripes woodgrain SE and red stripe tires. Never had anything as cool since.......
You weren't drinking you could still have it
Ok She is the cutest human being to ever live
No debate
As a kid I remember ALL the Dodge Boys Commercials (and their pretty sexy girls in the commercials as well)
THE DODGE REBELLION WANTS.......YOU
Such great manly cars, and had that great distinct sound when you started them.
"Gardcore Legend," One can get their 'fix' for "that great distinct sound" every time you pop in and play your "Mannix" DVDs -- when L.A. p.i. Joe Mannix (Mike Connors) of the same era, 1967 - 75, starts up his George Barris, custom built one. Better than half are quite good episodes.
That little gal is sweet as sugar but I'll take the Hemi Charger any day.
I wish I still had my 69 charger. Baby blue with a white vinyl top. Gorgeous car.
Ah the good old days
0:07 A Norelco color television camera by Philips
Yep. A PC 60 or 70.
Love the Norelco PC 70 camera. :)
When cars had a soul now there just tin cans with gadgets that drain your wallet when they break
scared to buy a new car i drive old cars
Is Joan Parker still with us as of 2025 ??
I love the sunroof option! Today maybe one of this for sure is very expensive and hard to find
Stunning Vehicles!!!
Like everyone says to today's kids...you're Grandma wore the sharpest clothes and drove the fastest cars.
I like the fact that all of the Charger buyers were men.
+Scott Ferrell "i like the fact that all of the Charger buyers where humans"
How do ou know? This ride was so cool, that probably aliens took it with them :´D.
I have a 1968 big block that I bought from a couple in 1978. It was HER car that she bought new, and they just didn't need a third car anymore!!! The car is profiled on my channel, yes I still have it.
Scott Ferrell Car ownership has no gender all though during the time of this commercial women did still did not have much rights compared to men.
If a man wants a man's car, let him have it. If a woman wants a woman's car, let her have it. Free country ( It used to be!)
This is one creative commercial
that sunroof even is badass
Thank You Dukes of Hazard for making the 1969 Charger an extinct Muscle Car.
"Casey Jones," "Thank You, WOKE CROWD (i.e., imbeciles, morons, busy-bodies, uninformed), for making the 1969 Charger an extinct Muscle Car." . . . "Thank you, John Schneider, Tom Wopat, Catherine Bach et al., Warner Bros. Television and CBS TV for making "The Dukes of Hazzard" 'must-see-TV' for millions of American viewers of all demographics, on Friday nights for 6 & 1/2 seasons (Jan. '79 - Feb. '85).
Hell yeah
Good stuff! You can't fake the sound of a Chrysler Product starter motor! Can't beat their casting choices either!
Where's the commercial for the "Bananacuda" with the buckling seats and torsion barbers?
Or the AMX/Javelin one where the kid's graduation present gets a full-blower makeover and the kid says, "But I only made it BETTER"?
"Todd Burgess," " . . . the sound of a Chrysler Product starter motor!" Enthusiastically watching episodes of "Mannix" on DVD -- same vintage as this ad -- we hear that sweet sound multiple times every time the best dressed, tough p.i. (Mike Connors) starts up his George Barris custom adjusted one.
Dodge is back at it again becoming americas #1 car brand for balls and fun
Do you know your way to San Jose. Beautiful.
You can buy a restored one today for 3 times the price of a single family home in '69!
Hey they did not showcase the Econo-Charger with the Slant-6 Three on the Tree lol
All I kept noticing was the sunroof in that charger! Lol will dodge ever come to there senses and make a 2 door charger!!!!!!
A coupe is rare nowadays
Can't even find a 2 door pickup these days.
My 05 4 door charger is badass. Wouldn't change anything.
Just think about this for a minute. She is in her early 70’s now . That’s scary.
i believe she has since passed.
@@zacharybolin7572 No she hasn't
Id hit that.......😋

I had such a crush on "Mean Mary Jean" from Plymouth commercials!
It was later found that none of the three men who drove off with the cars paid for them lol
Gold !! Wow!
I'll take them all, thank you very much!!!!!!! Oh, & how about the GLORIOUS sound of that Highland Park Hummingbird at 0:19, 0:35, & 0:51?!!!!!!
You always knew when a Mopar was starting!
I think this commercial is video 2" tape, due borders of picture are clear, no static lines, bo distortion of colors, in fact it seems DVD quality, very perfect colors (similar to those transfered films to difital) inage quality.
NICE.. i want one now.. great commercial..
way better times!!!
If you were white.
@John Johnson Or murdered civil rights leader.
Charger..... greatest muscle car of all time
That one was mine. Darn good ad
51 years ago, and looks like it was filmed yesterday. I would have been 3 yrs old then.
Ah, such is the technological sophistication of the Americans back then.
Dodge had some interesting spokesmodels in the 1960s. There was Kathryn Minner , "The Little Old Lady from
Pasadena" followed by Pamela Austin, the "Dodge Rebellion" woman and Joan Parker of "Dodge Fever ". To a then teenaged boy they made for great viewing.
.
The little Old Lady from Pasedina advertising wasn't the national campaign and wasn't created by Dodge or Chrysler Corporation. It was only seen locally in Southern California. It did influence the song and music, but it wasn't a national thing in the way the Dodge Spokespersons were, Pam Austin or Joan Parker.
@@OsbornTramain...I stand corrected. I grew up in Southern California and thought the ads were part of a national campaign. Thanks for letting me know.
I want my 1969 Dodge charger also... I WANT ONE
I had a brand new Red ‘68 R/T just like the ‘69 model shown. It was a chick magnet in ‘68! Too bad it rusted away!
i went for the 69 coronet r/t it was my second car a green one miss that car so bad
I’ve never seen a ‘69 Charger with a sunroof! Super rare.
I've only seen 2 yes they are very rare
Custom
It was a option on the 69 Charger

$150k in dodges in one commedcial
What an awesome body, and the girl don't look bad either.
Very familiar sights & sounds i owned a 70 500 model at 18 ( paid 800$ )
and a 70 r/t at 22 yrs old ( paid 5 grand )
The best advert was with them old duke boys YEEEEHAAAA
Rebuild exactly THIS Car !!
I never knew the 69 Charger had an optional sunroof.
I believe there were just over 300 sunroof cars produced. Pretty hard to find nowadays.
I like them. When will they be available?
A charger with a sunroof ? How rare is that ....
Just think some of these Chargers got turned into General Lees
Never seen a 69 Charger with a sunroof? My uncle had one in the 70's that was fully loaded, leather interior, electric windows and locks, think it even had cruise control but no sunroof
Is that Dionne Warwick's San Jose song?
I like the Burt Bacharach background music!
If only they knew how valuable that car has become and she was adorable, if you saw her walk into a store today dressed in those style clothes, 100 men would follow.
With the wrong head
wish I could get my black rt back..lol
what happened
