Chrysler’s ‘Farmer’ Ad is a Hit!

UntitledChrysler scored another win this year at the Superbowl with their Jeep ad. With the voice of Oprah underscoring Jeep’s appreciate for our men and women in arms fighting for us over there, it won over the same crowd that loved the previous ads with Clint Eastwood and Eminem. It seems like they wanted to really go all out since that wasn’t the only Chrysler ad that played during the big game. While it’s the one everyone is talking about the most, the Ram ‘Farmer’ ad is still one hot on everyone’s lips.

The question that many people were asking the days following the commercial were where did the idea come from? Greg Mitchell of The Nation found another video on YouTube that is similar to the Ram Ad. It was uploaded in June of 2011 and features the same speech from Paul Harvey. The biggest difference is that Ram went out and got their own footage and images of farming for their commercial.

So, is it a cut-and-dry scandal of ripping off a YouTube video? Appears that it’s not really the case. A message on the page for the video says “Farms.com is pleased to be working with Ram Trucks and support the ‘Farmer’ Super Bowl commercial.” Plus when you watch their video, there is also a link to the Ram version.

Seems like Chrysler just saw an ad they enjoyed and wanted to expand it to put it on a national stage. There doesn’t appear to be anything scandalous going on, especially when the group responsible for the original ad highlights their cooperation.

2013 Chrysler 300 Motown Edition: A Treat for the Ears

2013 Chrysler 300 MotownThe 2013 Chrysler 300 Motown Edition was already a fusion between Chrysler and the musical coming soon to Broadway, Motown: The Musical.

The car designers at Chrysler have brought on Motown founder Berry Gordy to make sure that the features on the Chrysler 300 Motown Edition are worthy of the pedigree of the Motown spirit.  That means the new vehicle has to do more than just look appeasing to the eyes, but also has to appeal to the ears.  To do that, a preloaded USB drive will come with the vehicle and already preloaded will be 100 of the best of the Motown classics.

All of this is meaningless, of course, unless you have a sound system worth bragging about.  Such is the case with a 10 speaker Beats Audio system with 12-channel amplifier and proprietary Beats Audio algorithm.

The vehicle will have 4 different exterior paint colors, Bright White, Gloss Black, Deep Cherry Red, and Jazz Blue.  The colors will complement the two-tone interior seats that are embossed with an “M” logo for Motown.  All the equipment inside of the Chrysler 300 Motown Edition stand out as unique and detailed thanks to the use of Piano Black for the instrument panel and surrounding parts of the interior.

For fans who appreciate a quality sound system in their choice of vehicle, this seems tailor made.  Anyone who is looking to blow people away (almost literal) when they put on music may have just found their new favorite Chrysler.  For more Chrysler vehicles, both new and pre-owned, go online to our website at Bayside Chrysler Jeep Dodge.  Like us on Facebook and follow us on Twitter for more news and monthly specials.

Chrysler had a surprise for the attendees of the International Auto Show.  People were expecting to see a new Jeep, maybe even a new sedan, but definitely not this.  A homage paid to the history of the car maker in a fun way.

The Chrysler 300S Turbine is being made as a tribute to the classic and infamous 1963 turbine-powered concept car.  This new concept sports the same bronze color as its predecessor of 1963.  The front of the vehicle has a unique upper and lower machined-billet grille that also call back to the old model.  The headlamps are also a blast from the past with the Chrysler 300S’s Gloss Black headlamp bezels.

The wheels even have a unique styling to them to bring back fond memories.  A massive 22 inches in diameter in a turbine shaped design.

Saad Chehab was a huge fan of the color used in the vehicle.  He loved it the moment he saw it in the design center and is hoping to take numerous elements of the Chrysler 300S Turbine and put it into future S versions of the brand’s vehicles.
