The new Idaho Potato commercial for 2015

[glen]

Just saw it this morning, number 4 in a series, with the always excellent looking, red and white, Studebaker truck!

Great ad. Not too happy about the final scene, however. Very funny.

[Studebaker Wheel]

Well done....the way I like my french fries.

Thank you Glen for the wonderful comment! I'd be the owner of that beautiful Studebaker truck! And Commander Eddie, we agree with you - we get teased about having a "studebreaker." For our second commercial it was a lot of fun and great to have a true Idaho truck involved. Also, Studebaker Wheel - agree, well done is the only way to have your Idaho frech fries!

[Commander Eddie]

I loved the first commercial as well. So glad to see your truck is on a roll (pun intended). It is a great gig and great exposure for our Marque!

It's great to own a Studebsker truck but to make money with it ......the best of both worlds !

The money helps get her (truck) closer to being finished. The interior is next.

At 0:15, no doubts about the make of the pickup.

Great exposure but why did they have to have the great looking truck backfire? Kind of reminds me of a number of years ago an ad had a Studebaker belching smoke.

I've been around long enough to remember when we Studebaker folks were all pretty defensive in defending our position as Studebaker fans.

Those were the days when you often heard "you won't be able to get Parts" comments. To the "unknowing"...Studebaker was a symbol of failure and a target of derision. Could be that this commercial re-awakens that memory for us older members.

I don't know who writes these commercials, but with a little creativity...the next episode could include one of those "WE'D RATHER FIX THAN SWITCH" bumper stickers many of us displayed on our bumpers in the early days after Studebaker quit making vehicles.

Doing so, may provide soothing lotion for us older Studebaker folks harboring tender sore spots. Anyway...by now, we should all have pretty tough skins. After all...this is a commercial about "TATERS"...not the dang truck.

It was fun on the back fire - we had to pull the light bulbs out so my husband could pump the brakes to make it look like it was staling. The smoke is just effects.

John Clary - Love your comments. I won't let anyone (just my brother) give me a hard time about my truck. i "love" having a Studebaker and I love that i have had little to no problem getting the parts to put her very close to being orginal again. I love the comments i get at car shows about families and their Studebakers and there always positive.
I'm of the next generation that was raised correctly to honor a great piece of metal. I'm so happy that in 1994 i was able to buy my truck and even happier she's almost done. Labor of Love!
Not sure if they will do another commercial with the Studebaker but I will share your comment with the writer/producer of the current commercial.

[Commander Eddie]

I bet you REALLY have something to talk about at the car shows now. "Hey, this truck is a TV personality"! Everyone knows the Idaho potato truck!
