Wow, wonder how they got that? I still remember seeing that commercial way back when as a teenager who loved computers and sports cars...my jaw dropped! I still think today the Atari dashboard is awesome!

Loved that commercial when it came out. The car seemed so advanced for its time! Looks so much better viewing this vs the other grainy blurry versions of it.

"Atari dash" Ugh, I dislike that term. I do wish it was an accurate meter.
Is it just the term "Atari Dash" that you dislike, or is it also the dash? I really like mine...

I'm 75% sure the guy is rowing an auto... never noticed that before and could be wrong but it seems to straight to me.

Edit: watched it again and now I'm not sure.

If you pause the video right before he jams the shifter down you can see the picture on the top of the shifter showing the gears. Took me a few tries to get it paused Just right. It sure does look like an auto though. I thought that at first too.

Here's the pic.

It's weird, in all the shots it is blanked out. But it is a manual. That one snuck in.

Since that day the C4 evolved few times; from L83 to LT4. The C5, the C6, and C7, but that is the coolest Corvette commercial ever. The TV technology then was lousy compared with today's digital age.
