I only read through it one time, but I fail to see how "blackwing" was any part of anything until Cadillac named the TTV8 for the CT6V the "Blackwing" engine.

If I told you it was Cindy Crawford and not Catherine Zeta Jones, would that make you any more or less upset? According to this the commercial was pulled within a month.

Cadillac - Wizard Commercial - 1997 Super Bowl - My advice is not to watch - both the car and the duck may be worse than you remember!

More upset... I've always found Cindy to be more my style (doubt I'm hers though)

... and thanks for the clip... until that friggin' bird popped up in it (car is exactly how I remember it, but the bird is worse!)

Terrible commercial. I believe it was pulled because "people" and GM brass thought she was too sexy. You know, short leather skirt and knee high boots......Grrrrrr

Bump! Also, I felt like a grown up this morning driving to work. I was at a stoplight at 5:15 this morning with a Dodge and Camaro in front of me and when the light turned green both of them took off like a herd of turtles, and for a split second I thought go smoke them like a cheap cigar, but the grown up in me this morning said no, and I didn't want to spill my coffee... Have a great day!
