newVideoPlayer("/82_Toyota_Celica_494.flv", 506, 423,""); The problem facing the producers of this ad was plain: they had a budget of roughly $2.99, yet needed to show how futuristic and advanced the new third-gen Celica really was. The solution? Huff paint until your vision goes all woobly, then start the cameras rolling! Arriving on the planet in a snow globe Space Sphere, the Celica awed the world with its quasi-flip-up headlights and ability to drive in a straight line!

newVideoPlayer("/87_Celica_476.flv", 506, 423,""); This ad might not be quite as painfully 80s as the Cocaine Factory '85 Duster Ad , but it's getting there. 1987 was the year the Celica was "improved" by going to front-wheel-drive and shedding the old funky angular look in favor of a more focus-group-friendly (i.e., bland) appearance. The Phil Collins-esque theme song fits this car the way profits from missile sales to Iran fit the Contras' financial needs!

newVideoPlayer("81_Celica_476.flv", 475, 376); It looks like we're fully locked in on Oh What A Feeling Week here at Classic Ad Watch Central, and there's no telling where it will end! Today's Late Malaise Era Toyota ad features the '82 Celica turning the heads of everything from rollerskaters to rat-rod chicks, with a completely incomprehensible bit involving an animated mailbox that turns day into night. Oh yes, and of course we get The Toyota Leap at the end.

Former Combat! star Rick Jason was big in Japan in the late 1970s, if we are to judge from this ad for the JDM '78 Celica XX (sold here as the Supra). Just lean on that sporty fastback and puff suavely on a gasper, and like magic a busty babe appears and throws your bowtie on the driver's seat. Yeah, that's the Celica for you.
