New Ford Commercial

Has anybody else seen the new Ford commercial that shows the slick being dropped out of the back of a cargo airplane then in the next scene, the camera is panning around a 1966 blue & white truck as a large crate is dropped into the bed. About that time, the truck morphs into an '08 F-350 Super Duty.

I looked at it a little closer thanks to TiVO. You never know for sure that it's a '66 being dropped from the plane because all views are from the side and back. I can say the truck nearly does a complete face-plant before it equalizes from the drop. The front end, after full compression goes airbourne with at least 3 feet of clearance under the tires. The next shot is of a '66 as mentioned before but the commercial is not just for trucks. The 'stang gets much more air time.
