THE SPOT
"Blackwood" introduces Lincoln’s limited edition sport utility luxury truck. In the :30, a businessman on a rainy city street notices the Blackwood, and soon after is magically whisked to the wilderness for a surreal, mystical moment involving a flying fish in the middle of a mountain lake. The spot then cuts back to the vehicle, which pulls away from the curb as a briefcase hits the sidewalk. The voiceover relates, "You don’t explain it, it explains you."
Spot broke Aug. 27.
