It's not CGI, it's just a Puma driving around in present day San Francisco, with an effect added to the video to make it look "old". Look at the cars in the background closely - they're not 1960s cars, they're "modern" cars (for the day).
@@Davez621 it is CGI in the sense that they edited in Steve from Bullitt and digitally composited him inside the Puma as well as altered the background and exterior of his scenes to match. Really clever and sophisticated for a 1997 commercial. Especially since things like this were only introduced a few years prior in Hollywood movies.
I've never forgotten about this advert. It was so cool to see, sounded lush in the Cinema, and really appreciate the grain here too. Takes me back to 1997 when times were a lot more happier. I still haven't seen Bullitt but this was such a clever idea at the time that really stuck with me.
So love to see this remastered into HD today. these commercials were cool, over a decade and a half before we even had the Audrey Hepburn Galaxy chocolate commercials. We had this with another deceased legend.
The great Terence Steven McQueen. A fairly short lived commercial as I recall but nevertheless, still iconic. Some say Steve would have been spinning in his grave when this hit the air and that he never would have been seen dead in a car like this. Here I speak for Steve myself, "Steve would have had no problem with a vehicle of this kind or size, he made anything that could move go quick and loved anything that moved."
Yes, well said. Put it this way, Bullitt was made in 1968, when cars like the Mustang were common. If you offer any REAL "car guy" (or girl) a chance to drive something that's thirty years from the future, you're gonna do it just out of curiosity if nothing else! That being said, Mr. McQueen would undoubtedly have been happy to punt such a light, responsive car with a keen chassis around town.
The Mustang was thought to be a secretarys' car on release. However that didn't apply to the fastback GT with 390, which was very much a drivers' car, by 1968 Mustangs were a car for anyone as the sales demonstrated. The 1.7 Puma was "fun" and I personally think it was the last to have that old school MK3-4 "Escort" feel, while the Escort MK5 and Focus became soft and-although objectively "good" cars-were quite boring to drive.
@@boilerhousegarage I read an interview when this advert came out with a racing driver who worked with Steve McQueen and he was asked what Steve would have thought about his image being used in this commercial, and he answered that Steve would probably have asked how "much were they were paying?"
Que actorazo McQueen ❤. Hoy son pocos los actores que con solo se vea su rostro en pantalla.., cautiven instantáneamente. Un grande. Amo a Steve McQueen❤❤❤❤❤
Wow I remember that add. Thought it was pretty well made back then, still think it looks good for its age. Only one thing I noticed today that I find would've made it perfect, and would have been an easy fix. The Mustang Steve drove in Bullit had no grill emblems.....any Mustang fan worth half his weight in gold MUST know that, yet no one on the team for that commercial thought it was worth a few more min to remove them for the add.
Grazie a Dio biondo okkiverdi di ciaoamigos di Foggia qui a Ferrara è uscito da poco il sole e sto meglio d'umore e sento meno freddo sempre bellissimo il calduccio
Quando papà nel 1996 in quella concessionaria in via Biccari a Lucera (FG) non avevano la Ford Puma che io volevo vederla e tu mi dicesti papà no Giulio non ce l'hanno in esposizione
Absolutely a crappy car the puma all it is a ford ka lol should have used the ford cougar 2.5 v6 much better car or one better the 3 litre Ford Capri mk 3 in black steve would have been proud to drive the legendary Capri back in the 1970s like I said the puma sucks bigtime no power granny car lol :-)
try this car once, you will change your mind, the pleasure of driving is huge, it's a karting. The Cougar is a more powerful car but less pleasant to drive.
By far one of the coolest adverts ever made....
A classic television advert that was very well done for 1997. The look towards the motorcycle at the end is just the cherry on top
The CGI in this looks incredible for 1997.
It's primarily done with clever compositing.
Well you definitely see it.

If y0u haven't seen Bullitt, I feel s0rry f0r y0u
You need to watch it,a few x ,to get the story,bit confusing,even Robert Vaughn said,no spoilers ,Steve is gr8 in it
The puma hasn't aged at all it looks like a 2020 motor car even better
The glance Mcqueen gives his old Triumph is fantastic..
when I saw this ad I decided to buy a ford puma... it was the best memory of my life... (after the birth of my children of course...)
So love to see this remastered into HD today. these commercials were cool, over a decade and a half before we even had the Audrey Hepburn Galaxy chocolate commercials. We had this with another deceased legend.
Für mich hat dieser Werbespot längst Kultstatus erreicht.Das war schon eine coole Idee Steve McQueen in das Auto zu setzen.
As a lover of all things ‘BULLITT’, the music composed by Lalo Schiffrin for that movie is a huge part of the flavour of the movie and this advert !

+ELLA HORNBY Well said, Ms. Hornby. It's always a rare treat to read a mature and informed comment on TH-cam.
+Taxidermistification Your response is also a rare treat. Very much appreciated, thank you.

one of the best ads going king of cool.
Quanti ricordi. Sono passati già 23 anni fa e la puma è ancora bella. Il testimone della pubblicità è il top.
That look at 00:45...to the Zundapp morotbike from The Great Escape is just brilliant...

You can't spell motorbike.Wanker.lmao
Steve McQueen is the king of cool. He makes any car cool but the Puma is already cool. :)
Was für ein toller Film und ein tolles Auto 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Still one of finest adverts ever created. Incredible to think that this was as far back as 1997 and it still looks immaculate 👍
Great Ad. The music, the location and Ste, looking epic.
Damn, the Puma still looks fresh.
miss you Steve!
Que actorazo McQueen ❤. Hoy son pocos los actores que con solo se vea su rostro en pantalla.., cautiven instantáneamente. Un grande. Amo a Steve McQueen❤❤❤❤❤
One of my favourite adverts of all time. Thanks for putting this up. So so very cool.
The compilation CD The Best…..TV Ads ever bought me here :)
I remeber when this ad first came out.So well put together .
Coolest ad on tv at one point and for a long time after that.
Buongiorno Davide Del Duca e buon giovedì mattino e buon autunno Davide
Best Ford Commercial ever !!! So cool ! Love it !
Didn't realise this ad was that long ago. Amazing!
The best car ad ever
I love this video!
Thanks for the upload. I just discovered it.
I have been dreaming of one of these in San Francisco for the past 20 years. Only 5 more years and I can bring one of these to the USA!
Go for it mate, it's an awesome car around a twisty country road, get the 1.7 one!!!
If you want one you should prepare yoursefl to the welding xD
How’d it work out?
Didn't realise this great advert was so old.
Mcqueen the King
Steve McQueen ♥️ mon dieu que je l'adore ❤️

Great clever ad and at the time a great car for ford.long live Steve chief o’halloran mcqueen of which he was brilliant in the towering inferno.
Quando Davide Del Duca nel 1996 mio padre mi aveva portato in una concessionaria a via Biccari a Lucera (FG) a vedere la nuova Ford Puma
El verdadero puma, el que hace honor a su nombre.
This was the one that caught everyone out.....
Just timeless....!
Un video da brivido col grande Stese McQueen dedicato a tutti i fordisti perché Ford è storia e mito come lo è McQueen
puoi dirlo bro. appena presa una usata 1.4 16v sono completamente innamorato.
Still awsome. Make more commercial stuff with him😊👍
Geniale!
Lalo Schifrin. His work beautifully ties it all together.

If only someone in Ford UK thought "Ooo, let's re-do this with the new Puma ST!". But, alas, no.
If Ford brings back this car, it better be offered in North America here or China
Buongiorno Davide Del Duca e buon giovedì mattino grazie per gl'auguri in anticipo per il mio 35esimo compleanno

LOL! Comparing a POS Puma with a Mustang 302. You've got to be kidding me.
That mustang was a 390
That pony was a 390, and McQueen loved anything that would run, lol.
Theyre not comparing anything you absolute idiot it was a fucking TV ad for the Puma
Moron

That sort of driving would not be allowed these days - which is partly why all car ads are now mostly shite!
Il biondo okkiverdi di ciaoamigos di Foggia che è un ragazzo accattivante
If only that car was in the USA
No one would buy that POS.
Buonanotte biondo okkiverdi di ciaoamigos di Foggia
Almost makes you want to buy a Puma......almost.
"...almost, but not quite"
If you have a vagina or neauterd!
Kkkk
Trading in your Mustang for a Puma?!? How could you Steve? What, you’ve been dead for 17 years when they made this? Okay, that makes sense.
