Volkswagen Commercial featuring King Kong (1972), animated by David W. Allen
From Wikipedia:
Allen's ground-breaking model animation opus contribution was a legendary Volkswagen commercial made in 1972 in which King Kong spots a giant version of the car from his Empire State Building perch in New York. Climbing down from the building, Kong puts his human "date" into the passenger seat, gets in the car, and drives down Fifth Avenue out of sight. The spot aired only once on network TV, and in spite of favorable public response, was pulled because VW executives decided that they did not like the image of an ape driving their car.

Huh, I didn't know Volkswagen invented the SUV! Thanks, Bully!
What's awesome is how good a likeness that is of the original Kong. The face is exactly the same.
