Enough Cool to Make Your Head Explode

Behold, one of the best commercials known to man: the 2005 Ford Mustang ad.

Now, at the end, it does utilize the standard and overused imagery of a car driving really fast along a road. But, this is a great example of commercials targeting a specific audience.

This was the year that Ford launched the retro-styled Mustang. They partially aimed it at the Baby Boomers because, well, Baby Boomers have money, and they'll get the reference.

The other target were car nuts. Putting Steve McQueen back in a Mustang probably made gear-heads all over the world blow out the front of their pants.




That being said, the best part of Bullit is the car chase scene. If not for that part, I believe the movie is simply average.

All the same, this is a great ad.
