Thats the truck he and the groundhog drove off the cliff in the original movie! And the gas tank behind the seat did explode.

I forgot about that part. I guess that's a movie car that won't bring as much money as the Bullit Mustang did.

How could it be the same truck? Besides, that one in the ad is a C/20 not a C/10. I don't imagine that was a rigged explosion

. Some advertising firm was smart enough to put 2 and 2 together. "Hmmm... Superbowl Feb 2nd. Hey, that's groundhog day and there was a movie people liked with that name. Even though it has nothing to do with the Jeep Gladiator, let's use that run off the cliff clip for our ad." Funny movie!

I thought I recognized that truck being in the movie - almost 30 years ago.

And yesterday morning on Meet the Press, there was a 67-72 C10 patina door shown for wall art. They broadcast from some restaurant/bar in Iowa.

2/2/2020 is a special day in our series of trucks!

My local sports talk radio guys were running down the top ads from the big game this morning and this one was number one!
