An advertisement showcasing a range of video products. It includes a camcorder, video player, television, and VHS tapes. The text emphasizes the popularity of the VHS format and the high quality of their video systems. Panasonic. just slightly ahead of our time. Ask some candid questions before you buy a video system. Take the time to find out the differences between formats and features. So you won't be surprised later, when it's too late. THE TRUTH ABOUT THE WORLD'S MOST POPULAR FORMAT Last year 9 out of 10 people who bought video recorders chose VHS. Almost every video rental store carries movies in VHS. That's not true with other formats. And since your friends and relatives probably also own VHS, sharing tapes is easy. PUTTING CAMCORDERS IN FOCUS All camcorders can shoot home movies. But not all camcorders make it as easy as the new Panasonic OmniMovie PV-300. With auto focus, auto exposure and a power zoom lens, nothing beats OmniMovie for capturing your kids in the act of being themselves. It can even shoot by the light of just one birthday candle. And HQ circuitry electronically enhances the image, while CCD microchips replace the pick-up tube, ensuring reliability. But OmniMovie is more than just a camcorder. Because it uses full-size VHS tapes, it can also play back thousands of pre-recorded movies right on your TV. REVEALING FACTS ABOUT HI-FI VIDEO SYSTEMS The new Panasonic PV-1742 gives you VHS hi-fi sound through your stereo system, and much more. It can receive stereo TV broadcasts, actually turning your ordinary TV into a stereo TV. There's also HQ circuitry, a Tech-4™ four-head system, and a full-function wireless remote that will even let you program up to 8 shows over 3 weeks from across the room. So, when it comes to video- whether it's video tape, high-resolution stereo TV, or an incredibly sophisticated all-in-one audio/video system-look at Panasonic. Chances are, once you know the whole truth about video, your choice will be easy. Most...

An advert for a high end convertible. It highlights the car's engineering, design and history, emphasising its superior qualities and exclusivity. The advert also mentions the availability of a sound system. After years of buying everything from the "Porsche of toasters" to the "Porsche of stereos," perhaps you're ready for the Porsche of cars. There is a small group of individuals in the world for whom perfection is almost an obsession. Somewhere in the evolution of this group's vernacular, the name Porsche came to represent far more than sheetmetal. It became a benchmark. For their part, these purists have used Porsche as an analogy for anything inimitable. For our part, we have continued to craft unique, exciting automobiles which make the analogy viable. The new 944 S2 Cabriolet is a powerful basis for such comparison. The 944 convertible continues a tradition of racebred, open-top cars. Professor Porsche's first car, an open roadster hand-built in 1948, won the first race it entered. Thus began the story. The 944 chapter opened in 1981, when the car was created for the famous 24 hour race at LeMans. The new Cabriolet possesses the engineering that has since made the 944 victorious around the globe. A transaxle design provides near-perfect 50-50 weight balance. Cornering is uncannily stable. Pressure-cast alloy wheels are mated to huge, 4-piston internally vented disc brakes with ABS. Suspension, steering, braking and drive systems are all carefully matched to work as one. Even tire tread is meticulously calculated. (Obsessive enough?) The painting process alone requires 26 steps. Body parts are zinc galvanized before a single weld is done, sealing zinc even in the seams to prevent corrosion. (To weld through these panels, we had to develop our own tools.) So after nearly a decade of setting standards against which other sports cars are measured, about the only way left to make the 944 more fun was to take the top off. Naturally, in typical Porsche...

This is a vintage advert for a compact car with a focus on luxury options and rich features. It highlights the car's unique design, comfortable ride, and wide range of available features, all while maintaining a reasonable price. The little rich car. The little car you are looking at is the American Motors' Hornet. It took over forty million dollars, three years, and one million man hours to get it to this page. It is an entirely new car idea. So new, in fact, that we created a multi- million dollar production assembly line from scratch just to produce it. The Hornet is the first car in America designed to prove that the word small doesn't automatically stand for cheap. For, although it is little, it is by no means humble. It offers more unbridled luxury per square inch than any other car of its type. Compare it with anything on display in any showroom in the country and you'll soon see what we mean. The Hornet weighs one and a third tons That is a lot of expensive weight to pack onto a little frame, but worth it for the extra stability and security that it gives you. The Hornet is a full six feet wide, with a stance wide enough to handle like a sports car on a turn. The Hornet rests on a one hundred and eight inch wheelbase. This longer wheelbase helps smooth out bumps in the road and gives you a ride you would not believe in a car this size. Walk around the car from front to rear. Notice that the Hornet has a solid aluminum grille. Notice that the bumpers are not just stuck on, but are shaped to follow the contours of the car. Notice that even the door handles are tucked away to give the car one smooth, pure line. Open a door and listen for the reassuring thunk you get when you close it. Look at the wheels. Electronically balanced at the factory, they are a full fourteen inches in diameter and they cost more. Open the hood. It is counter- balanced to stay open. You don't need a rod to hold it up.

See the first of her new Big Color shows, "Born Yesterday," on the Hallmark Hall of Fame, Sunday, October 28th! FOR THE NEXT THREE YEARS, all of Mary Martin's television appearances will be on NBC... in Color!
