This particular commercial for the McDonald’s Corporation makes yours truly emotional:
In the fictional world, in the Arthur movie geared towards adults-so to speak; it just makes me want to just jump in the Station Wagon or in the Diesel Suburban with Jane and David Read; and listen to the AM/FM Radio tuned to 94.5 NPVT-FM, and listen to the hybrid Adult Contemporary-Jazz-Easy Listening format, the local news, weather, and traffic reports, the CBS News feed; and the JAM jingles-all as of the late 1970’s through the mid 1990’s.
In the late 1960’s, around the time when David and Jane get married; at the same time NPVT-FM ceases to simulcast it’s 500 kilowatt Clear Channel AM parent, and takes the hybrid Adult Contemporary-Jazz-Easy Listening format, with David Read working at the Elmwood City Evening News organization at this time-helping with the changeover from simulcasting the AM to this format; I would love to listen to the PAMS Stereo Island jingle package on this FM Station with jingles that transcribe things such as “NPVT-FM, 94.5, Elmwood City, Stereo Island”. Let’s see, what would I be driving at this time; either a Cadillac Calais 2-door coupe (Cadillac’s entry–level model at this time that was just a step above the Oldsmobile 98 and Buick Electra), an Oldsmobile 98 2-door coupe; or a Buick Electra 2-door coupe; with any one of these three cars on GM’s B-platform having the most powerful engine available that have been produced by each of their respective divisions of Genera Motors, the TH-400 Automatic Transmission, Rear Locking or Limited-Slip Differential; and the Towing Package.
In reality, commercials such as this one from the McDonald’s Corporation makes me want to spend time with my paternal grandmother, Marie “Mimi”, Mary Ann; the remainder of Mary Ann’s other four children; Uncle Joe, Margaret, Ann, and Paul.
