This jingle was written by 1950′s soul/R&B singer/composer Jimmy Radcliffe, who later in his career wrote commercial jingles. He released this song as an instrumental single called just “Breakaway” and took out the Pontiac references.

I actually like that song! And for 1969 you have to remember, the effects and design seem pretty state of the art. This commercial compares pretty well with the ’80′s Pontiac “We Build Excitement” spots.

Nice car, but crapy commercial.

The 1975 Grandville Convertible was GMs 2nd most expensive convertible after the more expensive Cadillac Eldorado. For some reason, the Grandville was more expensive than either the Oldsmobile or Buick convertibles that last year of production.

That ’75 Grandville convertible must have been something, those were great cars. I remember my aunt and uncle had a beautiful dark blue ’71 Grandville four-door hardtop when I was a kid. I SO wish I could have that car today! For some reason, the Grandville never really caught on and after ’76 when it was discontinued, the Bonneville returned to the top of the Pontiac lineup.

Yeh, I remember my first Austin Allegro, must have been the summer of ’75.

My mom ordered her 1975 Grandville convertible from Steiner Pontiac (long gone) in Pasadena, CA. It was ordered in the fall of 1974 and arrived in the new year as I remember.
