49-50 Frazer in a new McDonald's ad?
« on: February 20, 2012, 06:55:32 AM »
There is a new 'retro' ad that McDonald's is airing that I have seen about 5 times here in Canada--not sure if it is showing in the US (yet?) as I haven't yet seen it on any of the US stations on my satellite dish service, only on Canadian stations so far it seems.

Shows an early McDonalds restaurant at night, with a rear view of two cars parked out front, the one on the left some late 50s finned thing--I am actually embarassed that I haven't really twigged to what it is yet--Chev? Pontiac? Desoto?--because I first saw and keep looking at the car on the right, which is a 49-50 Frazer I think. The ad is short, and the view of the cars is just a second or so.

Anyone know anything about this ad/car?

Don't forget to record it! I saw an ad years ago that had slave-types dragging a '53 Kaiser through the mud with a chain. I contacted the company that was being advertised and they put me in contact with the advertising firm that created the ad. I contacted the firm and they sent me a video tape of the ad. A little research and maybe we can share it, eh?
