The Motor City


Awesome!!!  Thanks to fellow Michigander in diaspora Emma Eiderdown for forwarding the above link to me.  Beautiful imagery, but ain't nothing, not even if Lee Iococca was giving them away for free, would get me behind the wheel of a PT Cruiser.

  1. Cool commercial! Loved seeing the Detroit icons. I've seen the Diego Rivera murals many times throughout my life--I never get tired of looking at them. The man knew how to portray the heart and soul of the working man and woman.

  2. The Detroit icons seemed quite spit and polish. I don't remember them so photogenically, but hey the city's trying. The Diego Rivera mural in Detroit is truly a masterpiece. Wonder what Sarah Palin thinks of it?

  3. Great commercial! I wouldn't drive a PT Cruiser, either, but that's for many reasons. :P

    Sarah Palin: Diego who?
