Chevrolet's New T-V Ad

[Looking Glass]

I first saw it during the Football Game, Sunday evening and now it ran again on FOX. A Daughter Restored a Blue, I believe a 66 Impala Convertible for her Father, then hung a Picture of his Late Wife and her Mother from his rearview Mirror for him before their first ride together.

IMO this is the Best Ad I have seen in years.

Chevrolet TV Spot, 'Holiday Ride' [T1]

On a chilly winter day, a man makes his way to the barn to retrieve some holiday decorations. He opens the old wooden doors and inside sits a dusty and broken-down 1966 Chevrolet Impala that belonged to his late wife. The man takes a moment to remember her smiling face behind the wheel so many...

Weird ad. It had white people, and they weren't gay or transgendered.

 

[Looking Glass]

WOW!!, Thank-You, So Much. The one on T-V is a condensed version of Yours!!

 

[Wayn-o]

Weird ad. It had white people, and they weren't gay or transgendered.

Could it be we finally hit bottom and now things are turning back where they should be? At least with Chevrolet it is!

 

[ONE-A-DAY]

damn, that one got to me. Are they playing the entire add or a shorter version? seems pretty long for a commercial.

 

[Tony DCB Boats]

Weird ad. It had white people, and they weren't gay or transgendered.

So sad and so spot on true. This is what a real American commercial is and should be. Chevy tough

Hit home for me…lost my wife nearly six years ago and still miss her every minute of everyday.
Would do anything for another day on the water making a 100 mile an hour pass with her laughing.

 

[SummitKarl]

yes great commercial/story and it really hit home for me as I am doing that exact same thing for my neighbor right now, my neighbor/friend of 20+years, my age just passed away the other week, heart attack then got covid in the hospital...The entire family walked over and asked if I could and how much I would charge to finish his build of a 69' f-100.....oh boy talk about pressure LOL, it didn't take a second for me to say yes and not a penny. The parts are all here now and the work begins this weekend...I will start a thread next week so you all can follow the progress.

Saw it during the Greenbay game, wife was cutting onions in the kitchen at the same time.

I'm a Ford guy but that commercial gets up from me

 

[charlyox]

Great job. If that doesn’t get you nothing will.

 

[ChiliPepperGarage]

At 65 years of age, this hits me harder than it would have when I was younger. Great commercial, free of any social justice BS.

Funny, my girlfriend just asked this weekend, of all the cars I've owned, which one would I like to have back again. Without skipping a beat, I said my '66 Impala. We actually went online and found some '66 SS 396 Impala's for sale. They are not cheap but maybe I'll get a nice Christmas surprise!

Thanks for posting this, hadn't seen it.

 

[Looking Glass]

Thanks for posting this, hadn't seen it.

The T-V Ad is Good, but the Long Version that HCP3 Posted, really makes the Story "Come together" and maybe gives you something to Realize what really is Important especially during Christmas Season.

 

[was thatguy]

That’s really, really good.

 

[Bpracing1127]

wow that got to me!!

 

[Groper]

 

[J DUNN]

Awesome Ad. Reminds me of how I feel when I drive my Dad's cars around.

Now if I could just figure out how to restore a entire car in 4 minutes, that would really be something.

 

[rivrrts429]

You know it was some younger generation group who developed this story and commercial. Kudo’s to Chevrolet and the team in their media/marketing department who had the fortitude and vision to produce this during a time in our country that appears so uncertain at times.

 

[JDKRXW]

The ad tells a beautiful story.... but ... Chevrolet is in the business of selling new vehicles. This ad looks back at their legacy but I think they need to be looking forward. I don't think to many people will be buying a new car/Truck based on memories of a car from the 60's.

 

[Mcob25rg]

65 also - really can relate. Not sure I could keep it under those conditions- Chevy hits it out of the park with this 1

 

[4Waters]

I saw this one a couple weeks ago and couldn't stop laughing, the look on the little girl's face is priceless. TV version is condensed.

 

[stephenkatsea]

Outstanding commercial. Brought back many good memories. Here's my Impala from the era. 1965 Chevy, I bought it used, low miles, in about 1969 for $1,800. Put over 100 K miles on it. Good car.

 

[riverroyal]

Great commercial. Still not buying a chvy

 

[Tank]

66 rag! Sweet!

Great commercial.

 

[stephenkatsea]

66 rag! Sweet!

Great commercial.

But a rag was not for me. This 65 was typically stuffed, trunk and back seat, with my drums. Although, sometimes, the trunk would be full of Albacore!

 

[RiverDave]

The Chevy commercial was great!

The saving Simon commercial reminded me of my daughter summer.. that is something she would do.

 

[Bullet28]

Great Commerical

 

[Roosky01]

Not a Chevy guy at all, but that commercial hit me. I'm a sucker for that type of shit.

 

[TimeBandit]

I often think there is nothing built today that will be, or could be restored in 50 years.

Short films like this remind me of just how good we've had it.

Happy Holidays!

 

[HBCraig]

Fantastic ad
My Mom passed a few years ago. Dad restored a 57 Bel Air. Would love to grab one for him again

 

[DWC]

Can’t lie, got me. Great ad

 

[ssc]

Had to tell the wife to put them damn onions away.

Cheers, Steve

 

[BingerFang]

Dam this had me in tears. Reminded me of this photo of my mom when she was 16 with her first car.

RIP Mom <3

 

[Riley1]

Good for them. Trying to be all American again.

Not going to get me to buy one. But 1000x’s better than Jeep’s pathetic Springsteen add.

Thank you for your service to my beloved country

Give me a minute, I got something in my eye.

 

[Boat211]

Been 3 1/2 years for me. I know EXACTLY how you feel.

 

[Boat211]

I now need to pull it together before someone sees me like this. Thanks for posting.

 

[81Sprint]

Dammit! first thing in the morning and got me a little teary eyed. Great commercial, hits home

 

[ka0tyk]

Weird ad. It had white people, and they weren't gay or transgendered.

Here you go.

 

[coolchange]

Weird ad. It had white people, and they weren't gay or transgendered.

Bugs me that we even have to acknowledge that.
Reminds me of my summer after hi school.
Spent a week in Oregon camping fishing back roaring in my buddies 65 SS sittin LA on supremes. Not your typical Oregon car with long hairs in it.
