Tiger was used in a 63 Le Mans/Tempest ad (showing two seemingly identical cars and the text 'Can you pick the Tiger? Or words to that effect) and in the 421 ad with the open and empty garage and the text 'There's a tiger loose in the streets'. Was that 63 or 64?
I may have imagined it but I think I remember reading 'Tiger' in an ad for a 55 or 56 Pontiac. Well before Jim Wangers time, I'll try and see if I can find it. Any 55/6 advert collectors care to comment?
In Jim Wangers book he talks of nearly being fired because of wanting to run an ad for the 70 GTO titled 'A boy and his Goat'. Seems the shiny bums at G.M. thought Goat meant a 'A joke'. JZD gave the OK to run the ad because he knew it was an affectionate nickname but the G.M. heads said no way.
