I have been watching a lot of 50's and early 60's commercials and tv clips over the past few days and only in 1 of the about 110-150 clips did I see a women in pants/shorts. It is amazing, the women dressed so much more feminine and classy back in the day.
@Practical Skeptic I've seen the original, which was her actual voice (same commercial). The voice here is not the same. No trace of her New Jersey accent here, which was prominent in her early career.
@Daverdare keep in mind...there was no "obesity epidemic" back then in the USA like there is now. People were far more active. There was nearly zero fast food (Macdonalds Etc) NO computers, Ipods, DVD players, cable TV (when I was a kid there were only 3 channels on TV and they were not in color. Kids would stay out all day riding their bikes, playing sports etc....nobody was sitting in front of the computer or TV all day ....I am old enought to remember that time...
With the way they're acting, I can only assume that Coke's back then still had "shit" in it. Far out, solid and right on, man. Let's rap it out! groovy. Blow rocks!!!!
@shawtyziz10 back then the commercials may have been longer but there were far less commercial breaks than now. Most shows only had one (or two sponsors; an "alternate" sponser)...like Coca-cola....Pall Mall Cigarettes... etc. There would be a commercial in the beginning....like " 77 Sunset Strip is brought to you by:....." then they would cut to the first commercial....then a midway commercial....and maybe one at the end. Also commercials seemed more interesting (or at least amusing) back then

I was hoping I'd find this commercial here. Thanks for posting it. Sandra Dee was a very pretty girl!
Some things never change! Of course nowadays when teenagers chat on the phone they use cell phones! Love those glass Coke bottles!
I loved her in A SUMMER PLACE. I thought the girl in this commercial was hired for that "look" but had no idea it was really her. Thanks for the info!
Yes, Sandra's voice is dubbed here. On her A&E Biography, "Sophisticated Baby", you can view the commercial with her original vocal track.

Woow..Sandra Dee looked real cute in the old days..cokes gooooood!
This spot was first seen in 1956, when Sandra was appearing in commercials and just starting out in show business....
In those days, directly from a cold bottle, on a hot day, it was pretty good!
The song played by the band at :32 is a take on Sousa's "Liberty Bell March," which was later the theme for Monty Python. Somehow it all fits.
Good Retro coca cola commercial. "BRING HOME A COKE."
What a charming ad
Congratulations for this commercial. It's my favorite here too. Please, keep it!
i never ever saw someone talk on the phone about coke and while doing that having a bottle of it in the air

Sure sounds to me like Sandra's voice was dubbed here - this is an adult speaking, not her real teen voice.

American Coke Commercial!...Over (90) Seconds of fun.
I love this!

@EmpressOfWyoming58 they also used to use extractsfrom real coca leaves, hence the name.
Where the heck do you find stuff like this, man??
Thanks for sharing!
That is VERY cool!

@LaurenNikkilee That's really cool :) You are a lucky person :P
What year is this?
1959
Closer to 1958.

@japroxable they replaced her voice?.....that definately sounds like her
@Practical Skeptic oh that's her voice alright
seems like Miss Dee died very young. What happened to her?
Everybody's happy when you bring home the Coke.
Nah. Say Pepsi please. 🤪
Weird!!!!!!!!!!
