Default Anyone Seen that New Porsche Commercial???

The one where an older gentleman is reading his paper and says, "I'm going for a drive." He then goes out to his garage and pulls the cover off an ABSOLUTELY beautifull old porsche roadster. Later in the commercial a younger guy in a new Boxster pulls along side and they both look at each other and say "Holy Schmoly."

My question is, what model(and year if anyone knows) is that older porsche? That just happens to be one of the most beautifull cars ever created...IMHO.

550 Spyder. The car James Dean died in. I agree, absolutely stunning. I want, I want I want I want I want!

Damn, adcritic went down. I was just on their site a few days ago.

I've seen that commercial and thought that old Porsche was SWEET.

I love that commercial! I about died laughing when the guy in the Boxster is about to pull out and sees the 550 Spyder go by and he goes "uuuuuhhhh". My wife said "that's the exact same sound you make when you see a car you like".

I'd love to see that advert! I can't recall ever seeing a Porsche advert in the UK but we used to get a superb S2000 advert at the cinema

It is such a beautiful car, it's hard to believe its a Porsche ( Before I get flamed, most people are really surprised to find that the S2000 is a Honda). I'd take the 550 Spyder any day over the the Boxster. Maybe I'll get one as a beater.

It's a great comercial.
