Impact '66 (Part II)

★★★★ · "Man, have you got performance this year!" · Christopher · 2003-06-24

Part I introduces the new '66 Chevrolets to dealers and salesmen (sic.) Comparisons are made between Chevy and "the competition", including, strangely, cars from other GM divisions, including GTO and Olds 442. Pretty convincing - I really wanted to buy a '66 427 after watching this film, and I've never even owned an American car. Part II gets to the heart of the matter - incentives for successful sales! Note groovy, op-art graphics, juxtaposed with gray, Brooks Brothers-clad spokesman.

Probably one of the most gonzo Jam Handy films every made, Impact '66 is essentially 2 films. Part 1 tells of the fabulous(ly ugly) new line up of Chevrolets they've come up with for 1966.Comparison tests are shown between other competitive cars (predictable results). Also, a demolition derby is shown.. I'm not sure why. Everything takes a complete turnaround in the second half, where all of a sudden, we're treated to a incentive pitch to Chevy salespeople to SELL SELL SELL more cars! Double dividends will give you Mexican holidays1 (shown with a VERY cheap looking flyer and pictures)…
