Saab 95 – 1961 TV commercial

Your new dream car – it’s even a luxury hotel!

Saab TV ad from 1961 (+video)

The Sixties must have been a happy time when sleeping in the back of your car was a happy thing to do not just because you lost your job and couldn’t cover your rent. Back then automakers even advertised their wares that were capable of accommodating their slumbering owners.

This 1961 commercial for the Saab’s Ur-Sportcombi 95 — “Your new dream car” — has that going for it and so much more, including dangerous looking cargo-area seats for the kids and a 42hp engine.
