An SB 300 made it into a Johnny Walker commercial.  Not my favorite bass but I like the drink  ;D

Hmmm...must have been an online commercial. As far as I know broadcasters are still working in 10/20/30/60 second increments.  1:40 is an odd duck.

Nice. What is the car?  Reminds me if the 66/67 HR Holden nose.

That bass playing is sure a true hommage to the meaning "keep it simple". So effective in company with the bass drum. A busier player could have destroyed the tune.

I did some searching but couldn't pin it down. It's a late 60's Mopar like a Dodge Dart or possibly an AMC car.

I don't know if Holden was part of GM then - I assume it was - but it's not like any GM product I've seen.

If that's not a 1967 Holden, then it's another GM car using the same platform.

I think its actually a Plymouth Satellite. That chrome trim down each side was the giveaway for me.

I think you're right. Check the ridge on top of each fender (chrome trim was present or not depending on model), the parking light size placement, and the design of the grille. Also, that Mopar body series was available in a convertible. It's a little hard to tell in the video, but I think the driver's side rear view mirror is also a match between the two images.

Could be, especially with the ridges.

The chrome surrounds on the headlight bezels are a match too.

These are all alternative facts.

I can guarantee that phrase has already been added to the permanent lexicon in the US. It will certainly resonate throughout the next 4 years.

It ranks up there with "plausible deniability" and "read my lips; no new taxes."
