"I remember a 1966 or 1967 "Dodge Rebellion" commercial where the Dodge Rebellion Girl [Pamela Austin] was standing on the deck of a ship holding an self-inflatable life raft, explaining that Dodge was out to launch it's new idea.  She accidentally pulls the inflation ring on the life raft and is thrown off balance as she squeals "...Join the Do-o-o-odge Rebellion!' and falls out of the frame, from which there erupts a large SPLASH!!    After some footage of the latest Dodge racing thru the surf, we cut to the surface of the water at the side of the ship, as she emerges with her hair all wet, placing one hand on the now-inflated life raft, and with a gorgeous smile points to the camera saying "The Dodge Rebellion Wants YOU!"

There are a number of old ads featuring Pam Austin's Dodge Rebellion ads, but this one is nowhere to be found.   It was one of many things that turned me on to wetlook at the height of puberty."

Well....guess what, I stumbled upon that ad today.....by sheer luck, cos  I was downloading a set of vintage 1960's Bob Hope tv specials, and those tv specials were original transmissions with all the commercial breaks in tact from 1966....and among them at the end of this Bob Hope show from 1966 was that ad you were looking for.

Your memory for something that happened 49 years ago is amazingly accurate. I was not in the USA in 1966 so I never saw this cos I was still a schoolboy in London in 1966....but anyway here is a link where you can download that Bob Hope show and you can see the Pam Austin ad near the end of the show....

BOB HOPE COMEDY SPECIAL: Guest starring Danny Thomas, Jill St. John, Martha Raye, and The Righteous Brothers ( February 1966 )
