55 Nash Commercial (Mickey & Pluto) 

So Cool! You have to see this.......

55 Nash Commercial (Mickey & Pluto)

Here's a little seen commercial featuring Pluto and his owner, Mickey Mouse. The most interesting thing about the ad is the bizarre, modernist style Mickey is rendered. He looks positively cubist!

LOVE IT!! My father had a 1955 Chevy Nomad when I was growing up. Was a lot of fun for the family doing cruise nights.

Now I am into Diecast Model Car Collectibles and I have a car looks just like Dad's car. Good stuff.

I was 6 years old then, but I was always interested in music. Played the piano since I was 5. Growing up in Munich, Germany - everything that came from America was simply the best to us. Especially music and entertainment.

Thanks for the memories...
