My new favorite Christmas ad: daughter restores her Mom's 1966 Impala for her father

[NormanBuntz]

The year's new Chevrolet TV commercial is my favorite of this holiday season. Daughter sees her Dad reminiscing about her deceased mother's 1966 Impala convertible gathering dust in the barn. She decides to have a local shop restore the car to surprise her Dad for Christmas. Just an awesome ad by GM. As good as the usual holiday ads from Anheuser Busch and Miller beer.

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...

My first car was a 66 Impala coupe 396. Great car.

I thought it was a fantastic commercial.

Hardly ever do I wish to see a commercial. Genius! Should have saved it for the Super Bowl.

"Ahh yes, our cars of 55 years ago were great, weren't they", says Chevy....I mean, that's what they're saying, right?
{playful, ad industry ribbing joke; nothing sacrilegious intended}

The '66 Impala in the dark International blue color is stunning. And it's a roadster to boot...

 

[Wrenchturner44]

Agree with all that has been said so far....great commercial.

That’s the thing with car people. We’re probably all going to be there someday. Either the person left to sit in the car and remember or the person in the picture.

I've seen it a half a dozen times, and tears still come to my eyes.

The full 4 minute version is on YouTube. Pause along the way... even the C8 vette is in it!

I’m no GM fan, but it is a great commercial.
