1975-01-05 - McDonalds TV ad filmed in Nevada City - We Do It All For You with McDonalds
- 1 minutes
A promotional ad for McDonald filmed in 1975 in Nevada City.
Some user comments from YouTube about the ad:
@HalfBakedLunatic - This commercial was being filmed during my very first visit to Nevada City, I was 12 at the time and was walking down the sidewalk during the scene where all the people come streaming out into the streets ... but I don't think I can actually be seen in the shot. It was so cool seeing this commercial on TV when I went back home to Spokane, WA! I ended up moving to Grass Valley/Nevada City about four years later and was there for about ten years.
@bobmilin - I worked at McDonalds in 1975 and that was the shirt we used.
@sandragordon8039 - This commercial was actually filmed in either 1973 or 1974. My sister is one of the girls on the front row and at the end singing with the group in the McDonald's. We lived in Nevada City, CA from 1970-1975. My other siblings, my mom and I were also extras walking down that street in the commercial. I'm thinking it was 1974.
@Bedfordmdb - This was filmed in Nevada City, CA in 1975. No McDonalds in the area so they bussed everybody to Sacramento to film the ending.
@impalaman9707 - That was back when EVERYBODY ate at McDonalds. Any given night in the 70s and 80s, the parking lot was always packed. "Dining in" at McDonalds was considered a treat, and people even dressed up for the occasion. Now people are ashamed to even be seen at McDonalds, and if they do go, they just go through the drive thru and leave as fast as they can so no one sees them.
@marios.6938 - My dad and other locals were angry at a proposed McDonalds in Nevada City so he streaked nude through the filming of this commercial. Made the paper the next day. The caption read, "Streaker adds relish to hamburger commercial."
