The Greatest— and Sexiest— Car Ad of All Time: 1980 Black Gold Datsun 280ZX!

The latest crop of Super Bowl car ads boasted some high-production-value salaciousness, but no car advertisement will ever come close to the perfection of the Quaaludes-and-disco Black Gold Man and Black Gold Woman and their gorgeous 10th Anniversary Edition 280ZX. Yes, many of you have seen this ad before, but I will not rest until all have experienced Black Gold (plus I've included a few Bonus Sexy Malaise Era car ads after the jump). The only 10th Anniversary Edition Black Gold 280ZX I've ever seen in person was about to get crushed, and I was still in junior high when this car was new, but I still crave a car so lavishly appointed that there are virtually no options. Driven to the ultimate! A few years before there was Black Gold, there was a very slinky Farrah Fawcett and her pet cougar taking her '75 Cougar XR-7 to the beach. Glove-soft vinyl on deeply padded bucket seats! Poised opera window! For '78, the Cougar had Cheryl Tiegs in her padded-tire-deck-equipped XR-7… and an appropriately disco soundtrack. The competition sort of gave up, once Black Gold Man and Black Gold Woman roared into a Martian sunset in their 280ZX; here's the '81 Mustang and its white-powder-fueled 90-pound driver heading to the disco. from The Truth About Cars http://www.thetruthaboutcars.com
