Wow that's cool old school.
Mid 80's marketing was based around the "Suzuki 4 wheel JIVE" tag line.
Had a cool tv ad too which I've been keen to get a copy of for quite some time.

Nope, it was "suzuki 4 wheel jive" It was a pretty common TV ad.

Definitely mid eighties.

Speaking of Suzuki advertising campaigns from the 1980s, the other day I was sifting through a whole bunch of stuff at the wreckers* and found 5 of these stickers. :lol:

*The wreckers sold new Suzukis back in the 70s and 80s. One of my LJs was actually bought from them new! How cool is that! :D
