Early 70's Chevrolets on Game Shows

"Split Second" was one of the greatest game shows ever! It was formatted a bit like "Jeapordy", but was very fast paced, and a LOT more exciting. I believe they always had 5 Pontiacs to choose from (one for each day fo the week), and the show was on in the early-mid-1970's. I recall once seeing a contestent choose between a 74 Trans Am and a 74 GTO!. Usually, the contestant would pick a Grand Prix or Bonneville, the most expensive models.

The show ran its course, but I read where it was brought back by popular demand in the 80's, but it wasn't the same format, and it failed. I believe it was another Monte Hall show. I think I also read where the original Split Second shows were taped over , so they will never show them again. I think there's 1 or 2 clips on YouTube if anyone wants to see the format. It was an excellent game show.

I thought it was 7 vehicles to mix it up a bit..but you might be right.
Was it only Pontiacs?..I thought I remembered a Chevrolet here & there.

Very cool. Not sure if you have it but I remember a LMAD that gave away a, it had to be a '72, I think as it was copper, SS Chevelle. Black hood stripes, hood pins. It's been awhile since I've seen it, but I'm pretty sure that's what it was.

That was a very cool collection of videos!

Thanks guys. I'll notify everyone again when I get more videos up.

Some of the funniest clips from "Let's Make A Deal" are when they gave away "clunkers", or what Monte Hall used to call "zonks", which were joke cars. He would sometimes say, "You won a Cadillac!", the curtain would open up, and it would be a cow with a Cadillac sign hanging on its sides. One of these "zonk" deals was actually a 49 Cadillac needing a restoration.
