2021 My Classic Car TV Commercials sponsored by Autogeek

Just thought I would share some of the fun we're having here at Autogeek this Christmas Holiday season.

Behind the scenes, we're filming TV commercials for My Classic Car with Dennis Gage. There's a ton of prep work that goes into this type of project but the fun part is all the cool cars our local car guys let us use for these spots on TV. We try to keep the cars in the theme of the show, which is all about cool classics, customs, muscle cars and streetrods.

As such, here's some of the cars we're using for the 2021 TV show, My Classic Car with Dennis Gage.

1940 Ford Deluxe Coupe

1964 Pontiac Catalina

1968 Pontiac GTO

2015 Dodge Hellcat

1970 AAR Cuda Hemi
(the real deal, not a tribute car)

1931 Ford Model A 5-Window Coupe

1969 Buick GS Convertible

Thank you to all our local car guys and gals that volunteered their cars. The above are the final cut for the 2021 season.

If you're reading this and you have not received a call back from me - please be patient. I'm juggling a lot of plates right now. Thank you.

Here’s my view

Teleprompter

Writing and timing the scripts is the most challenging aspect of this type of work.

Most scripts are timed at 55 seconds for a 60 second commercial.

Thanks for sharing these Mike and Yancey.

Shows how much work goes into the short and simple things most take for granted. I know you both are anxious to see these beauties and stress is a bit high to produce a top quality video.

Amazing how much the cars have changed to today’s vehicles. Love the GS convertible.

I sent the link to this thread to Dennis Gage, here's his reply,

Mike,

They’re all nice, but that Catalina is killer!

Dennis

Me? I like them all but if I had to choose just one - I would choose the 1970 AAR Cuda, the 1968 GTO and the 1931 Model A 5-Window Coupe.

But they are all very nice and as for the 1964 Catalina?

I detailed that going on 9 years ago and to the owner's credit - he's take a SUPER good job of taking care of the paint since then. It trully still looks great. And... isn't BLACK the hardest color to keep up?

Here's my write-up from November 21st, 2012
