Best Christmas commercial in a long time.

For all those that have gone on.  Happy Holidays.

Thanks!  I had been looking for that!

That, my friend, took me back 47 years.  Not the same model or brand of car, but the situation was so similar.  Thank you, and a very Merry Christmas.

The screen is kinda blurry.

[Calamity Kris]

My screen got really blurry as well.  Well done.

[Eyesa Horg]

Thanks, That was excellent. They have only been showing a few snippets of it here. First time I've seen the whole thing.

Same for me.  About a minute in the production values go down the tubes.

Reminded me of an advertising freeby I have from the new 1962 Chevrolets.

That one gets to me on several levels!!

 

I’ve been involved in a situation or two like that.

 

We had an old retired postman who came by the shop where I worked.  He’d been our postman for twenty years or more. He had a really nice ‘69 Chevelle.  His wife had passed earlier that year after a long battle with health issues and their funds had been completely depleted by the fight.

 

Two days before Christmas, we had to have the car towed because the transmission had completely failed.  He was distraught because he wouldn’t get another check before the second week of the new year and didn’t have money to pay for repairs.

 

We always had this huge party on the last business day before Christmas and he’d always been one of the guests. We invited all of our commercial customers and our suppliers as well as our racing friends and employees’ families.

 

We fixed the Chevelle and sent it over to a detail shop that we did work for and had work done for us. Billy, the boss, told them to make it new! (It was a really nice car to start with).

 

We picked up our postman friend to bring him to the party. We had set up tables and chairs in the shop and the party and feast were in full swing when Billy threw up one of the shop doors and the guys from the detail shop drove the Chevelle into the shop.  I handed our friend the bill, marked “PAID IN FULL…. MERRY CHRISTMAS!!”

 

The old feller nearly collapsed and he cried like a baby!

 

We all did too!!

[Forty Rod SASS 3935]

Well..... all these years and someone finally made me get all choked up and brought tears to my eyes.

[watab kid]

the car one has a certain appeal to those of us that have had such thoughts of a special car , i liked it too 

[Clay Mosby]

Wow!! 

I'd say more but I'm having a lot of trouble seeing the screen.

 

Thank you for sharing and MERRY CHRISTMAS and HAPPY NEW YEARS.
