Prada uses classic cars in this ad for it's clothes... it has a good variety... but should have chosen better looking women, I saw 5 today alone that would put these models out of business

thanks Aaron!

 It's not surprising that fashion clothing for women uses classic cars, hot rods, or dragsters for advertising, it goes back to at least the 1960's

Awesome retro cool stuff from Farbror Sid (Uncle Sid)

 Man, this is too much... it doesn't have any mention that it's just a Ford, with the Cobra package, it calls it a Shelby. PLease correct me, if I'm wrong, but Shelby doesn't appear anywhere on a 1969 Cobra Torino, does it?

 they are leaning on a Volve 1800

this Charger photo was titled moonlight, and maybe that is the deal, but it's a cool photo no matter how they lit the scene

Great advertising theme... from father to son, Chevy runs deep (son searches for 5 years to find his dad's Impala SS, and gives it to his dad)

Short tv commercial above, full length story below of finding the car after looking across 6 states and Canada below... worth watching the full thing!

And the father and sons were at the LA Auto Show by invitation of Chevrolet, with the 65 Impala SS http://blog.hemmings.com/index.php/2011/11/18/herb-younger-and-his-1965-impala-ss-396-make-appearance-at-the-l-a-auto-show/

I didn't know it, but about a week ago Dan at Hemmings posted all about this http://blog.hemmings.com/index.php/2011/11/09/chevrolet-at-100-pulling-on-your-heartstrings/
I just watched the commercial on tv and had to add this to my blog... great bloggers think alike
