71 Cuda in Honda Accord commercial
« on: March 21, 2013 - 11:08:24 AM »
Lately on tv there has been a Honda accord commercial playing. The scene is set at a service station with a girl in the back seat of an accord. A little boy walks up and they strike up a conversation about the accord.

Look closely at the service bay in the background. There is a red 71 Cuda with luggage rack in there. Possibly a billboard convertible car.

My wife asked me how I noticed it, I just shrugged and said "Mopar."

I spent well over 20 minutes in between classes searching youtube and Google. I couldn't find any.

Its a teaser - you only get a glimpse. On the closeups the boys head covers up the Cuda in the bay :working: if only he would have shifted a little to his left or right. But I'm sure Honda had the director make the boy stand where he was cause if you could see the Cuda in the bay :working: everyone (at least me) would forget what the commercial was really about (Honda's).

BTW doesn't the boy look like the kid who played young Alan (Robin Williams character) in the 1995 movie Jumanji?? Nah, it couldn't be him unless he spent the last 18 years in the Jumanji jungle...
