Wow ... I don't know how I missed it
I just saw the Ford Mustang ad featuring Steve McQueen. Yeah, he's been dead for 24 years, but there he is, walking out of a corn field in a jacket and turtle neck, his eyes as blue as the sky behind him. He catches the keys the farmer tosses at him, slips behind the wheel of the Mustang and speeds off ...
Evidently, there has been buzz about this ad for almost two months. I'm torn about using images of long gone people for ads ... I remember Humphrey Bogart's image in something, but I can't recall the product.
But McQueen was cool and after Bullitt he was tied to Mustangs. I do like the ad, I have to admit. One of the cars I learned to drive on was a 65 Mustang Coupe, and for a few years I owned my mom's 72 Mach I. God how I hated to sell THAT car.
Heather has a nice shiney silver Mustang. :::sigh::: She actually lets me drive it now and then.

Oh yeah! Stevie come to me! I'd heard about the ad but I don't watch much TV (I have a laptop, why would I watch TV?) thanks for the link. I'll just, um, go peek again, thanks.
