Very cool! Couldn’t open the second picture on my phone but I know how it feels to be in a magazine and it’s very exciting.


Car looks good !

Congrats Form74, WELL DONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



My 60 seconds of fame happened twice.

My 64 GTO was in a Crowley's commercial (that played daily for 6 months).
The filming was partially done at a Ford Executives personal garage, and part was done at a Drive-in called the Chick-In Drive-in which is surprisingly still in business.

https://www.tripadvisor.com/Restaura..._Michigan.html

The Film Company gave me a copy of the commercial which I still have (VCR tape).

The second commercial was a Ford Super Bowl commercial that played on TV for only a few days. It was filmed in California in the Alabama Hills, where many cowboy films were made. A lot actually:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_o...t_in_Lone_Pine

I was the Ford Technical Advisor. This deal was a job.


The Chick-In Drive-In deal was fun. My car 64 GTO Convertible was chosen vs 17 other vehicles.
