Super Bowl Ads from 1982-the last time it was held in Detroit

This time next week, ad folk everywhere (especially in the US) will be chattering around the watercooler about what was the best Super Bowl ad and what stank.

We decided to whet your appetite with some old ads from the Claymore Project (32 years of superbowl advertising goodness). It's been 24 years since Detroit held the Super Bowl in their city (1982). Back then a 30-second spot during the game cost $324,000.

Read more to see who advertised back then (and will be back this year) and to watch the ads of Super Bowl XVI (superadgrunts).

Here are advertisers that will be advertising this year during Super Bowl XL:

Budweiser- This Buds for you-DJ

Budweiser-This Bud's For You- Ref

Cadillac- Working Late

Ford- Telly Savalas

Gillette Atra- I like it

Michelob- Skiers

Nationwide- Wedding

Toyota- Dogsled Race 1

Other ads of note:
