Chevrolet's holiday ad - Alzheimer's & classic Suburban

Just caught this ad Chevy put out for the holidays.

Glad to see it on several fronts - that there is still interest and pride in our old Chevy/GMC's, and bringing this devastating disease out of the dark into the open.

Dammit, dammit, dammit. Right in the feels.

Lost my mom to dementia a year ago May, and my mother in law is going through it now.

Holly, Michigan!

The little town they drove through (where the railroad museum was) is Holly, which is a little village just north of here.

The Wyoming Drive In is down by the Henry Ford Museum/Greenfield Village in Dearborn MI.

It was a good commercial.

My wife cursed me because I sent it to her, made her cry

Re: Chevrolet's holiday ad - Alzheimer's & classic Suburban

Does the suburban in the commercial belong to a member here? It looks familiar.

I'm pretty confident it is this one from the GM Heritage Center.
