THE SPOTS
In the :30 "Frontin’," a young man stands near a new Ford Five Hundred. As a young lady approaches, the man explains the vehicle’s features to her, leading her to believe that this must be his car. As other onlookers stop by, his plot to impress the lady is foiled as the real owner of the Five Hundred appears and drives off. "Multiple Personalities" focuses on the Ford Freestyle. In the :30, a man changes personalities while using the various features of the vehicle. At the end of the ad, all the "personalities" appear together in the car and have a conversation. The spots end with the tagline, "Ford. Built for the road ahead."
Spots broke in October.
