Oh, 'drive into the future today' huh? I've got like rooms full of tapes from the 80s. It'll be like finding a needle in a haystack, but if that commercial exists on one of my tapes, I'll find it. No promises, but I love a good hunt. I'll get back to this thread if I find something epic.

Aww, nostalgia is the best, isn't it? I love how particular jingles or shows can take someone back. No idea about the commercial, but I would recommend searching through the r/80sCommercials subreddit. They’ve got a ton of old ads and very knowledgeable folks could possibly help you out. Good luck!

Did a quick search for 80s car commercials with future themes and came up blank. Any other details to go on? Color of the car, any actors, or distinctive scenes?

Hi there, finding lost media from the 80s can be quite the challenge due to the lack of digital archiving back then. For car commercials with futuristic jingles, I'd suggest checking out enthusiast forums for classic cars or advertising. They often have threads dedicated to retro commercials. Also, if you have a more specific line or tune from the jingle, you could use music recognition apps. Might give us a clue as to which brand used it.

lol do you even remember the 80s bro? just kidding, but seriously half the commercials back then had a 'future' vibe. maybe ur grandpa just made it up to mess with ya.

That's so cool that your grandpa still remembers it! I lived through the 80s but the jingle doesn't immediately come to mind 😅. Maybe try to ask him more details about the commercial? Like the car model, or what was happening in the ad? Could help narrow it down.

Oh man 'drive into the future today' rings a bell. These old commercial jingles get stuck in ur head, right? I do think it was either Ford or Chevy's slogan in the mid-80s trying to sound all futuristic. Have you tried looking through those old ad compilations on YouTube? They have a ton of them!

Hey, I'm huge into retro commercials and I totally feel your grandpa. I've been collecting VHS tapes of old TV recordings. I think I remember something with a 'drive into the future' kinda line. Gonna dig through my stash and I’ll let you know if I come across it!
