A Little Digital Retouching in GMs Tearjerker Ad

Sharp-eyed viewers of Chevrolet’s new emotional “Home for the Holidays” ad that debuted on Thanksgiving are asking why Chevy would feature a prominent landmark with the name of a major competitor — Ford — even if “Ford” was digitally removed from it?

Part of the extended 5-minute, 30-second ad shows an older woman apparently suffering from some form of dementia remembering things while being driven around by her granddaughter in a vintage 1972 Chevy Suburban. Part of that tour has them driving into the famous Ford-Wyoming theater in Dearborn, Michigan.

That’s where many people notice that in the ad the theater’s marquis that in real life has “Ford-Wyoming” emblazoned across it instead reads just “Wyoming.”

Did Chevy Edit Out ‘Ford’?
After Cowboy State Daily earlier this week dug into a reader’s inquiry about the large “Wyoming” sign that appears more than halfway into the ad, another reader asked: “So, did Chevrolet’s ad people photoshop out the ‘Ford’ from the sign?’”
