Yes, it is. I grabbed a Kleenex.

[Revel]

That is nice, but it does not beat the ultimate Chevy Christmas commercial.

Nothing short of brilliant. i am sharing it with some friends who are dealing with loved ones who have Alzheimer’s and/or dementia.

Another from 2020 from New York Life... pretty good IMHO

My first car was the old family ‘69 Suburban. I could have stormed Poland in that beast.

Sunshine on my shoulders.... eewww.....

My first car was an ‘62 MG Midget. There wasn’t enough room in the tiny dash to accommodate a tape deck so the PO had one (a Craig 8-track as I recall) installed into the bulkhead between the “back seat” area and the trunk.

Changing tapes was always an adventure ;’}

I never expected it to really be a tear jerker.

That is hands down, the best car commercial I have ever seen.

I drove many of those model year Suburbans as they were the missile crew vehicles. Drove many miles through Kansas getting out to the missile complexes.

I also lost my Dad to Alzheimer’s over 16 years ago. I’m glad I was alone just now when I watched it. A grown man crying.

I was going to say something snarky, but that was beautiful.

[Chickensoup]

That was very nice.

Love.

I would’ve used the 57 Chevy. Turquoise blue white leather interior. That would’ve had me crying. Uncontrollably.

[Carriage Hill]

Actually, $62k isn’t bad for what’s been done, IF all underside rust and floors are OK. I just don’t like it lowered that much, unless it’s on adjustable airbags. Take a magnet, wrapped in a cloth, and run it over the front, back, sides and underpanels to check for steel vs ‘mud’ body repairs. (old body shop trick)

[Carriage Hill]

Aside from rust problems, those things would almost run forever.

[Sacajaweau]

My screen is blurry this morning.

[Lakeside Granny]

This is probably the best commercial I have seen all year.

It’s more than a one tissue for sure.

[MortMan]

They offered an inboard-outboard motor upgrade as an option!

[Chickensoup]

They didn’t show how they had to be helped up. Gravity is not a friend to the frail elderly! Lol
