| - | Me, a Giant Killer? (laughs) | 0:01 |
| Well, I represent the Giant Killer, American Motors. | 0:05 | |
| Remember when American Motors came up with Rambler | 0:09 | |
| and knocked the Detroit Giants for a loop, | 0:11 | |
| and big fins and fat land yachts went out of style? | 0:13 | |
| So what's American Motors got up its sleeve for '66? | 0:18 | |
| It's not size, we won that battle. | 0:21 | |
| Bucket seats and 4 speed stick shifts, we have all that. | 0:24 | |
| For '66, it's quality. Quality built in, not added on. | 0:28 | |
| Like this. Two seats. | 0:35 | |
| They look alike, but they don't sit alike. | 0:38 | |
| This one is made with coil inner-springs. This one, zigzag. | 0:40 | |
| These comfortable coil springs are built in here and here, | 0:48 | |
| front and back, in every American Motors's car. | 0:53 | |
| Only one other car has them, Cadillac. | 0:56 | |
| Now in '66, all car makers will have the new safety package, | 1:00 | |
| but what about brakes? | 1:04 | |
| Other cars have one hydraulic system. | 1:06 | |
| If that fails, no brakes, | 1:09 | |
| but with American Motors's double safety brake system, | 1:12 | |
| this safety line stops your car. | 1:17 | |
| Only one other US car builds them in standard. | 1:20 | |
| That's right, Cadillac again. | 1:23 | |
| Quality. Quality built in, not added on. | 1:25 | |
| In a few minutes, | 1:30 | |
| you will see just how exciting quality cars can be. | 1:31 | |
| The new 1966 cars | 1:34 | |
| from your friendly Giant Killer, American motors. | 1:36 |
