Thunderbolt Products At 6847 Harrisburg Blvd.

This is one of my favorite local commercials. The video must be the Austin version. Though virtually identical, I distinctly remember the Houston version featured a WHITE Cadillac Eldorado convertible of the same vintage.

Looks like Houston to me. I remember the 2 or 3 story brick building in the video that sits on the corner of Wayside and Harrisburg and the address on the building is 6847.. the Thunderbolt addy on Harrisburg. That commercial makes me miss the old Sears and the popcorn smell that would hit you when you walked in the doors.

This is a much, much newer version of the commerical. Look at the registration tags on the windshield.

Also, the commercial with the white Cadillac was from the 1980's- I remember it from when I was a kid.

Oh, and this video was filmed on Harrisburg- definitely in Houston, and is obviously for a shop in Austin.

This commercial was discussed in long detail under "Old Houston ads and commercials" merge?

"...it's time to come to Thunderbolt, you don't need a brand new car!"

I know all the words, I was a little girl when that commercial was on and I thought

that lady swinging her hat was soooo cool.

I like the radio version better.
