Goodyear Polyglas - Because so much chauvinism is riding on your tires



by Noah Joseph

Let's face it: Driving can be a scary ordeal. Particularly at night, in the city, with construction detours and spooky lights... when you're a Seventies housewife! At least, that's what Goodyear had to say in this commercial, aired during the first Monday Night Football game in 1970. What made sense nearly four decades ago is good for a laugh today, so make sure the missus is in the kitchen and that the boss lady ain't around before you hit the jump. Female readers may want to get a big ol' grain of salt ready, and remember: When a woman's at the wheel, Polyglas means more than mileage. Thanks for the tip, Robin!
