  Classic advert: Chrysler Sunbeam 22 Sep 2015 (News)
  July 1977 saw the launch of Chrysler’s all-important small car, the Sunbeam.

The song was a version of Petula’s ‘Put a Little Sunshine in Your Life’, adapted to ‘Put a Chrysler Sunbeam in Your Life’ by those crafty creatives at Chrysler, with the second line promising ‘It’ll put a smile on your face’.  A Sunbeam was shown tackling a variety of rural roads, while a voiceover boasted about the car’s annual service intervals and 50mpg fuel economy.
