Television Comercial

There is a television commercial currently playing (usually around 10-11 at night, New York TimeZone) that is driving Sandy plum crazy. Has ANYONE seen this ?

* It is short, no more than 20 seconds
* It is in black & white
There is NO speaking, tho there may be soft music in the background
* It appears to be raining, sorta kinda lightl
* Spotlights (vivid white) are shinning down on the cars
* I can see a 1957/58 Chrysler 300 hardtop coupe on a close-up
* At the end of the commercial there is nothing to indicate what the "H" it was selling, or what THAT was all about.
* There are no logos, nothing appears on the screen, nada, nuttin'
* cars can be seen. I very very faintly see a 1960s Imperial, a 1957/58 Chrysler 300 and the others are in black outline only.
Then, the voice over says "Isn't it time that you got back into luxury?"

Fade to white. For a million dollars, nobody would have a clue whatthe heck it is/was all about.

In NY / NJ it's on channel # 40 AFTER 10 PM ANY CLUE ?
Don't forget, NO logos, No Brand Names hinted or mentioned.
Only that 1 sentence.....

The redesign of the Chrysler 300, maybe?

Or the 'New' 200. The old Sebring.

The glimpse I had, the first thought that went thru my head was, "Acura or Lexus?"

Sandy,

Are you sure you aren't just having flashback hallucinations from too many "Mopar Hits" back in the day at your father's Chrysler Dealership? lol

No No No -This is real. It IS the most unusual TV commercial that I have ever seen, in my many years. Black-on-black, & it all happens fast. Black background, black cars, seemingly going around (like the letter "O" in a circle.) It's raining. Spotlightes from above shine down on the cars going around and around, with a flash close-up on a 1957 Chrysler 300 - also black, I think a blond model-like woman seated behind the steering wheel, looking AT the camera. There is NO audio, at all. Among the cars circuling around , with the picture slightly smeared a little bit, but sharp MOPAR EYES can squent-out a 1960 Imperial Crown Sedan and a 1969 Imperial LeBaron (cannot tell coupe or 4-Dr. Hdt.) and I think one other, but the entire thing is over so fast. My guess is it is a 14 second commercial. There is NO speaking. At the end there is no corporation, product, brand or any identifier to who, what or where this is about.
Only one voice-over stating "Isn't it about time you got back into real luxury?"
CUT ! END ! No trademark, no mention of any product brand. NOTHING

Weird commercial. Perhaps the re-birth of the Imperial ?
I saw it 2 times on Channel 10 in NY/NJ after 10PM
ALSO the viewer is left confused IF it was EVEN a commercial
Very sexy and falling on a billion deaf ears/eyes.

PS/ My Dad owned 33 & 1/3rd of the dealership. The other 2 owned the same. They were friends. All 3 were lawyers, my Dad specialized in Real Estate Law. The dealership made money. I worked there.
All 3 owners are long gone, and so is the dealership. It would have NEVER lasted. It was a small 3 car showroom, 2 salesmen, 3 on Saturday with 1 retiree on Saturday only. 1 Girl in office, 5 service bays 1 wash pit ,
small parts department, in town on a local street. Cry-CO. closed all those up in the 1990s they want all big highway wham-bam, and rape the customer and get 'em on the road, NOW, type of operations, not "Mom & Pop type dealership.
WE did NOT do business that way! We sold alot of Imperials & Chrysler New Yorkers to the 3 owner's friends and associates thru word of mouth.
Those were really good times, in my life. My heart, it still belongs to MOPAR.

Yes, that is finally the full "spot". I have seen the 15, 30, 45, second spots playing off the entire one, that is a minute and 32 seconds. What a fabulous commercial !! Ther initial "teaser" ia wht I saw, it was the 10 second one. As a longer one was released, the prior was discontinued. The 92 second one was on the Super Bowl.

If my folks were still alive, I woulsd bet the farm that a loaded to the nines 2012 Chrsler 300"C" would be on order, right now !
(Unless there were "imperial" rumblings underground......)
