The Lost Footage of Grey Poupon

This 1981 advertisement is known for its famous line ‘pardon me’ where two gentlemen from the aristocratic days gone by are being chauffeured in Rolls Royces when they meet each other. Watching the advertisement on YouTube showcases the gentlemen in Rolls Royces’ fussing over the delights of Grey Poupon Dijon mustard. A chase ensues and the Rolls Royce cars end up being the stars of the advertisement. This slice of the advertisement was recently shown the Oscar ceremony but the mustard brand has shown off the full version online.

Just watch the exterior and interior of the cars in the ad that feature wood veneers and sleek upholstery that made Rolls Royce popular in the 80s. Judging from the 1981 cars from Rolls Royce, the heritage of the marque has been preserved with its latest models such as the Ghost and the Phantom, and undoubtedly the new Wraith which was revealed recently.
