    I have a couple of 16mm films of Sprint commercials. Anybody got a way to convert them? I spent almost $80 buying projectors but have yet got 1 that works like they say they do.

    I have a couple - I'll see if I can convert them to digital ... they are pretty lame. I would like to see the Sprints..

    Dennis I think a good photo lab can convert it and put it on CD Rom. If they can I would be glad to pay for one:)

    I called everyone around here. Nobody has the ability to run 16mm film.

    Woohoo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1:bananaman :bananaman :bananaman

    I just found one on the internet. Apparently it was the Ford parody of an AMC Pacer commercial. Check it out on: http://www.amcpacer.com/goodies/video.html

    Scroll down to about the middle of the page under videos. It is the second Video link. You need Real Player to view it - there is a link for those who don't have it. :clap:

    i was getting ready to ask this one myself, i have always wanted to find older car commercals on tape or dvd.. i have one take a bought at a swap meet, no mave but there is some ford commercals.. anyone notice that car commercals havent really changed? there pretty much doing the same type of stuff.. for example plymouth in the late 60's used cartoon characters. just a few years ago chevy was doing the same thing..

    I guess I am not the only one here interested in this stuff, I used to check ebay once in while. It would neat if some here could make copies. I guess you know you are hooked on these cars when you start looking for old commercials! :eek: :oops: :D
