In the mid 90's when the LT1 was put in the Cadillac Fleetwood there was an ad showing one effortlessly passing a Lincoln while towing a wooden Chris-Craft boat.
Toyota NZ of course;
The old Volvo ads with the stacked up Volvos!
Love the creativity of this classic one for the E39 M5:
one of my favorites.
Definitely do not watch this at work...
I grew up and get nostalgic for the 2000s Mazda zoom-zoom ads, but this right here reminds me about being passionate for driving
It's not a traditional commercial, but the last Ken Block Gymkhana video is a pretty great Subaru advertisement.
