“See The U.S.A. …”
1950s-1960s
Note: This 1:33 minute video shows Dinah Shore singing the famous
“See-The-U.S.A.- in-Your-Chevrolet” jingle. In the piece, she sings the
entire song, adding her famous goodbye kiss at the finish. This ad
appears to be from the early 1950s — likely the fall of 1952, as the
Chevy models featured are for the 1953 model year. On YouTube
and elsewhere, there are several other Dinah Shore videos that she
made on behalf of Chevrolet.
