...using digital Steve McQueen have been good. Aside from the fantastic Mustang/Cornfield ad, Ford also made a cool ad for the European Puma that featured McQueen driving a silver Puma around ala Bullitt. He eventually backs it into a garage (as an attractive woman stares), gets out, smiles at an old Triumph Bonneville leaning in the corner, and pats the car lovingly as he walks away. It's kinda cool that in this era of dead celebs being resurrected to sell all sorts of incongruous things, that McQueen is being used to sell things of which he might actually approve (performance cars, chronograph watches...)

During the Tigers/Cardinals (Go Cards!!!) playoff there was a funny ad for the new Dodge Nitro with a guy jumpstarting some old junker Buick and the car ended up blowing up into the air. Big explosion and then nothing for like 5 seconds. Then the car fell back to earth. Got a good laugh out of it.

I think I have the updated version of this ad some where. This one stops at around 2002 I will have to find the one that continues to today. Range Rover

Replying to: fintail (Oct 28, 2006 7:53 am) They never imported them into the US but you see them from time to time for sale on speciality publications or Atlantic British. I would love to get one of those in decent shape.

Replying to: british_rover (Oct 28, 2006 7:57 am) I also like those really early ca. 1950 little 2 door open models.

Replying to: fintail (Oct 28, 2006 8:08 am) We are taking that model to the Auto show in two weeks as part of our exhibit. It is so clean when we have it in the showroom people think it is a new model. I have had a couple of people seriously ask if it is a retro inspired 2007 MY Rover.
