Advertising For Dummies: A "sparkle girl" at a gas station? (1970's)

 Union 76 decided to try a little sales gimmick in the early 70's with a "Sparkle Girl". I guess the idea is that she worked in the promotions department and made the rounds of various Union 76 stations.

Actress Joanna Cameron is the "Sparkle Girl" here, with Casey Kasem doing the voice-over at the end. Joanna is better known to millions of 70's Saturday morning viewers from the 1975-8 series, The Secrets of Isis.


If anyone can tell me when this ad first aired, we'll amend the subject line.
