Chevrolet recently dropped a new commercial in time for Christmas and oh boy is it a tearjerker. Called “Holiday Ride” it’s got a little bit of everything, including a barn find 1966 Chevy Impala and a lot of heart. Not since Ram released its Super Bowl commercial titled “Farmer” back in 2013 have I been so touched by a car commercial. Seriously, it’s that good.
Without spoiling anything, the commercial features an older man who’s switching out a dried-out Christmas wreath on his barn door for a new one, plopping the old wreath inside on a stack of many others. Also occupying the barn is a dusty ’66 Impala he obviously cherishes but hasn’t been running in years.
For many people, a classic car they’ve had a long time holds significant sentimental value, which is exactly what’s loaded into this Impala. It’s for that reason alone they’ll sit in barns and gather dust, because even if the owner can’t fix it up they also can’t stand the thought of parting with it.
