I would love to see the Matt Millen/Marty Morningweg commercial again where they are sitting on Harleys and talking tough about how they are going to turn the Lion's around.
The Detroit I grew up with:
A WXYZ promo from 1985:

And a classic Bill Bonds Detroit promo:

Ahhh, the memories..........
Does anybody remember a car dealer from the 70's-80s [[around the same time as Mel Farr Superstar) whose wife would always barge in in the middle of his ads and take over? I don't remember if the schtick was "Please buy my cars so I can keep my wife happy" or what, but she was... kinda scary-looking.
Thanks 313WX for the memories. It was fun to see some of the old commercials. Makes you feel a little young again.
Gene Merollis, what a great great guy, your Dimouth Plealer who sold Baccarudas.

i remember a perry photo developing commercial where the pictures got mixed up and the person picking up the pics said they got "some fat bald guy in a pool that looks like a piiiiinnneee - apple:"
wish i could find some of these on line, you tube or something......
Walt Lazar Chevrolet is the super-super dealer. ;)
PENNWAY TELEVISION
Do not remember the first 3 digits but Pennway was the place for tv repairs.

What was the car dealership spot that ended with a chorus singing:
"Main Street! In Royal Oak!"
and a voice announced "north of 11 Mile."
That computer was an IBM Displaywriter. It preceded the PC by a couple of years, first introduced in 1980. It was a dedicated word processor. It boasted an 8086 processor, no graphics or color on the display, and no hard drive, just the old 7 + inch floppy discs that sat in a separate unit affectionately dubbed "The Toaster". That was the first project I worked on when I hired on at Big Blue.
WXYZ's SCREAM THEATER. That commercial with that horrific scream used to scare the bejeezes outta me!!!
