Same here. I know there was a cassette of vintage commercials in the 70s 
("Please turn the cassette over to hear the rest of this program") but that was 
a long long time ago. Some public libraries might still have these things (or 
rest homes). And the "Cruisin'" lps have great 50s and 60s spots.

Okay, enough with the excuses already..you know EVERYTHING is online somewhere.
