Gems. Still valid four decades later. And interesting to see what cars were on the road in that year.

Thanks for posting that. Enjoyed a look at the nostalgia of the older cars and clothes.
Pity that common sense and courtesy didn't prevail back then, as it does even less today. There'd be a whole lot less "accidents" if drivers forgot about the "me" mentality and concentrated on the "us". Cheers!

Look at how much the cars move around under braking, also hair styles, mustaches and shirts tucked into pants lol.

And a large portion of cars were Australian made.

As with Trublu, I come from that era, and also have a blue px. Like Roadrunner, my first car was a Mk II Corty GT bought in 1970. Those videos brought back a few memories, both viewing them in the 70s and reliving the cars and fashions. The voice of the narrator was rather ....ahh how would you put it....gentlemanly, quaint?
