It's crazy how much this commercial speaks to me. I think we all get it to some extent. I mentioned my Dad earlier and that he's why I'm a car guy. This is one of my favorite pics with him, mainly because it's the only picture of the car my Dad used to talk about.
The one that got away. He did the responsible thing and sold the car for something more practical before I turned 2 years old. I think a lot about that car now and how I wish that we had tried to track it down when he was still alive. I still hope that I can find this car someday.

I've received this a couple of times in emails. One of the first things I noticed was the flags with the Red background as he pulled out of the barn to pick up his daughter. Then I went back to re-watch the entire clip and saw the 'ghost image' of the BB emblem while the car was still sitting in the barn. Gotta give someone in the GM organization (or the promotion company) a big thumbs-up for the attention to detail in this film. (And yes, like most everyone else, ..... this one tugged at the heartstrings.)
