This time it’s State Farm ins.

A young man, to his dismay, has been passed down an early driftwood woody “beige Betty”

Has a broken grille, rear alloy wheel is missing its cap & they threw on a black steel wheel up front for effect

It is irritating that S.F. is devaluing our cars. The other side of the coin is that we know the kid will have more fun with that wagon than a chinsy foreign subcompact.

As mentioned before on here, Hagerty isn't laughing at us. We made their cover story.

I know they are poking fun at the 'old' wagon, but my wife and I think the commercials are funny!
Especially the other one when the kid says I'll never get a date in this car and the parents are like we've had plenty of dates in it!

Exactly, first time I saw it I laughed my butt off. There are two versions that I have seen.

Hard pill for some to swallow but the general population dislikes station wagons. I bought my Caprice from a kid that didn't like it. Asked my son if he wanted to drive one of the wagons and I just brought home and the answer was a really quick no. The average kid today is more excited by Mom's Toyota or whatever silly monstrosity he saw in a Fast and Furious movie.

Either way, it's just a commercial, I wouldn't read too much into it and definitely don't be one of those "I'm offended" types.

It is just a commercial. I find it a bit funny also.

People are always indignant or pouty about something these days,. Must be something in the water thinning peoples skin,.

Do you know where I can buy a RIBBED tensioner for my 1994 Chevy Caprice Wagon - 5.7. I LOVE this car and my 1992 Buick Roadmaster (looks not quite as pretty as the photo above) but getting parts seems to be getting harder. Thanks.
