Default C5 commerical

Does anyone have a vid of a commercial for when the c5 originally came out. I saw the one for the c6, but wanted to see one with my car in it . I have searched the internet but have come up empty handed...was just wondering if any CF members had it stored in the archives...(probably got new computers since then). I have never seen one because when the c5 came out i was only 8 and GM doesnt advertise during Saturday morning cartoons

I wondered about this also. But I have noticed that GM has advertised the C6 a lot more than they did with the C5. I'd be surprised if they had one. Good luck in your search.

I've got one. I'll try to put it up on my website in the morning. Check my sig for the address. It should be up around 0530. It will be on the tech tips page under the misc. section down the bottom of the page.

Oh, good work, Paul. Thank you for the heads up. And, I, too, would like to revisit that old C5 commercial.

anyone have the other c5 commercial that was just a white (maybe silver) C5 driving down twisting country roads and of course, a plethora of varying-angle shots around it? I had the video a while back, but lost it. Was pretty cool.

I'd love to see that one!

The only C5 commercial I ever saw was the original "government agency" one back in 97. I stayed up till midnight just to watch it (it played during the tonight show). Back then, owning a C5 was my biggest dream. I didn't get to realize that dream till 02 but boy, it was so worth it!
