Thanks! Marketing was already on roll a good decade before this video came along. I have some 1950's car ads up in my home office, one of them is for a 1956 Plymouth. Their tagline: " Aerodynamic Plymouth '56. Driving takes wings" whatever that is supposed to mean... It tells me nothing about the car, their quality/ performance, etc. I can't even see much of the car in the ad. The image is of the rear of the car slightly foreshortened to enhance the fins. There is also a tiny pic of a jet at the top. Harley Earl's "jet age" definitely had a hold over other auto makers of the day.
Here's a link to a pic of this ad if you're interested in a laugh
