The Milton Ruben Time Machine: Old Chevy Commercials

The GM Heritage Center selected five vehicles that put Chevrolet on the map. Greg Wallace, manager of the GM Heritage Center, talks about the top five cars in GM history, including the 1914 Chevrolet Royal Mail, 1955 Chevrolet Bel Air, 1962 Chevrolet Bel Air, 1953 Corvette Stingray and 2010 Corvette ZR1. Check out video of the five iconic rides here: Milton Ruben Superstore is located on Washington Road in Augusta, GA.

Don’t get us wrong. Every vehicle that drives off our lot is special, because we know just how life-changing it can be to an individual. And we know that beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Some of our employees get excited about a truck they have to climb to get into, while others drool over the latest hybrid technology. This difference of opinions has prompted heated "car-talk" for decades. But vehicles that commemorate a significant milestone will always hold a unique place in our hearts. Maybe they remind us how far the auto industry has come. Maybe they bring back memories of our first car. Or perhaps they just make us excited to see what’s next. Either way, 2017 is a wonderful year for special Anniversary Editions for several of our brands. Here’s a spotlight of a few of them: 2017 Toyota Corolla 50th Anniversary Special Edition The most popular car in the world turned 50 this year and it looks like Toyota threw a black tie soiree. The Special Edition oozes sophistication, from its special badging to its 17-inch alloy wheels. The car comes in Black Cherry Pearl, Blizzard Pearl and Classic Silver Metallic, and features Black Cherry contrast accents throughout the interior to add a stylish touch of luxury. 2017 Chevrolet Camaro 50th Anniversary Edition The legendary Camaro also turns 50 this year, and, to honor it, Chevy released anniversary editions in both coupe and convertible 2LT and 2SS models to celebrate the classic style AND performance of the vehicle. It’s built to move, but once it slows down, check out the distinct Nightfall Gray Metallic color with special 50th Anniversary stripes, badges, and grille. And, when you’re not driving, relive history with the web page Chevy put together highlighting the six generations of the Camaro. 2017 Jeep Wrangler 75th Edition The Jeep Wrangler technically turned 75 last year, but that hasn’t stopped Jeep from continuing the celebration into 2017. Available in the Wrangler and Wrangler Unlimited, the 75th Anniversary Editions, in a nod to their predecessors in WWII, include a bronze interior and exterior and premium wheels, as well as the special badges that prominently feature 1941, the year of the first Wrangler.

This morning we were running back and forth between dealerships here at Milton Ruben, when something caught our eye. Nestled in between the line of colossal Jeeps was a rare treat: a tiny yet powerful vintage Corvette. We immediately abandoned our sprint to the nearest air-conditioned building. This 1994 Corvette Coupe has two doors and a hatchback body style. The exterior of the car is full of intricate details such as square exhaust pipes, factory alloy wheels and classic logos, but the interior features a bold red interior, complete with leather seats. The 5.7 L engine cranks out 300 horse power and 340 pounds of torque. The 1994 Chevrolet Corvette Coupe 2dr Hatchback. To say that this two-door hatchback is still in style is an understatement. Find more information at http://bit.ly/1JyxrBA. Cassette or CD? It's your call. This Corvette also includes an AM/FM radio. One fiberglass roof panel, two doors and lots of head turns. Featuring a 5.7 L engine with 300 horsepower and 340 pounds of torque, this Corvette won't feel like you're driving a 21-year-old car. This 1994 pre-owned Corvette Coupe features a bold red interior and leather bucket seats. Think of all the historic moments that happened in 1994. The longest MLB strike in history began, “The Lion King” was released, and America Online and NAFTA were both introduced to the world. Also entering the world: Justin Bieber. Clearly, 1994 was a pivotal year. Go back to that sleeker, simpler time with the 1994 Chevrolet Corvette. Pop in a Green Day cassette tape and let the memories wash over you.
