I was thinking about this earlier, and I got a pretty good idea; What if the Big 3 made a car commercial for the Superbowl, highlighting the products of all 3 companies over the foreign competition?

Think about it: the opening scene would be old-timey, and feature a couple of kids bicycling down a street. As they' re biking, the years go by. Starting in 1955, and ending in 1973.

As they bike by, cars like the tri-5 Chevys, Ford Fairlanes, eldorados, Furies etc.. are in the driveways. These give way to impalas, Camaros, galaxies, mustangs, barracudas, darts etc... until finally they get to the big bad performace cars of the late 60's early 70's, such as the SS454 Chevelle, the BOSS 29 Mustang, the 428 HEMI Barracudas and the like. The whole time they are biking by, the first part of "American pie" by Don McLean plays in the background. Also, a narrator is calmly talking. He steadily says "Do you remember, when we made these machines? If not, ask your father or grandfather. Ask them about when America made the car..."

Then. The music cuts out. The screen goes black.

and the narrator will say "And you know what they'll say? They'll say: 'kiddo, we still do!"

Suddenly, an areal shot of a runway in the desert appears. In the background we hear one republic's "Love Runs out"

Down the middle of the runway, A big mack and a peterbuilt drive, pulling car trailers. As the song kicks off, The cars roll off as the trucks are moving.

By this point, the song's really started up. And the cars are on the runway. Hellcats, ZL1's Z06's, GT350's, LT1's, FoST's, FiST's, everything made by the big 3 all rolling down the accelerating away from a sunrise.

When the song slows down. they all stop.

And the old school cars appear.

The song continues, as there's an areal pan over the 50+ American machines on the runway. The ad ends with bold white letters on the screen as the song comes to an end. The letters read: Brought to you by the greatest car companies in the world. Buy the best. Buy American.

The American Iron & Steel Institute used to take out 2-page magazine ads in the '60s that showed every car made in America using their member companies' steel. These days, I could maybe see the UAW running that sort of ad, though I don't know what they have in the way of a marketing budget.

This is genius. I know they're supposed to all compete with each other, but they all come from the same place. Show the people that America, once the laughingstock of the car world, is back and better than ever. There's no need to buy foreign.

Now that's a problem I haven't had. I use Chrome and my titles always show up.

Do you work in advertising? You should, because this is how it's done.

They've all wished each other happy birthday in print ads, I don't see why this wouldn't fly. The Super Bowl is vulgar, over-the-top nationalism, defined. This would at least class it up a bit. The freedom boners would be through the roof. A red Hellcat, white GT350, and a blue ZL1 Camaro all gunning for sunrise. Brilliant.

nope, I'm 16 :P

And yeah, but not just those 3. It should be more than just the super-performance cars. It should be a bit of everything...
