A 2004 commercial for a Ford Mustang that aired during American Dreams Season 3-- featuring a young serviceman coming home from war, whose father gives him a car.
I wrote and produced this short branded film 13 years ago. It was directed by Michael Apted, a great talent and human being. It ran only once on TV during the 2004 Season Finale of American Dreams and was named the most liked commercial of the year by Ad Age. That was about 2 years before KZitem was even around. Somehow it found it's way on here. So great to see people still enjoying it.

On my way home from my first tour in Iraq is when I purchased my 67 Mustang. Like the father in the comercial, looking forward to purchasing it kept my mind off of the bad things while I was there. It also kept my mind clear the second time I was there. Owning a Mustang has been my dream since I was 14. To me, it's like owning a piece of America, driving it, is what it feels to be American.

This whole commercial made me sad. His mom and brother were late to pick him up, he seemed lonely at a party in his honor, and he doesn't have a close relationship with his father. He seemed sad throughout the whole commercial. A new car was nice, but a deeper relationship with his father would have been better.

Maybe the father suffered from PTSD. So many Vietnam vets suffered from it & never got treatment from the military at the time.

Being a fellow Mustang owner, as well as a proud American, this video really evokes a lot of emotion in me. Not only to the US soldier, but also to the Mustang I lost recently. This video makes me shed a tear every time I watch it. Just the strange connection a human being can have with a 'piece of machinery' can spark such emotion, as well as the theme behind this beautiful commercial. God Bless our troops, the Mustang, and Ford for coming up with it and all that it stands for!

I had a mustang (66) in high school but got a differen car after a tree met that ne. I always wanted another one and got one in 2008 that is the same red as the one in this commercial. Just traded it in for a 2011 red one that has the old gt package and love it.

Sorry for your troubles, but each car can have its problems and all dealerships are different. You didn't have to take it to the same dealer for warranty service. Any Ford dealer will accept it. I wouldn't judge all "American" cars on that. I've owned all types, but the simplicity of the current mustangs and how solid they are have sold me. The engine bay harks back to the 60's when the normal human could work on his own car. I have a 66 too... solid.

I'm not an American or anything, but I always treat soldiers with the best respect possible., especially American soldiers. They do so much and give so much, it's only fair. On topic: Beautiful, beautiful cars. Unfortunately we don't get Mustangs over here but we do get Ford Falcons and Holden Commodores. They are Muscle car in spirit and are used for V8 Supercars. :)
