I've always liked this Buick Regal commercial, even though I don't really care for the car. Too bad no commercials are like this today:

...and the Futura was worth about 10% of that price. A Real Sled. Remember: this is long before Electronic Fuel Injection was common and reliable; especially on Detroit Iron. Google search "Ford Variable Venturi Carburetor" and see what the 'Better Idea' people were selling.
