Favorite GM Commercial: America Still Builds Rockets

General Motors has produced some legendary commercials over the years, but in 2011 they released one I still fondly recall with a smile. You might remember it, the Chevrolet Corvette commercial where GM reminds everyone that America still builds rockets.

If the tail-out drifting and burnouts or the original film reels of the legendary rocket-launches doesn’t get you pumped, the cool shots of the GM workers assembling the Corvettes will. The dialogue is especially cool, too.

“Once upon a time, a bunch of guys got together with a crazy idea…go farther, faster than mankind had ever before. They dreamt with their hands and the world watched… and waited. While time has marched on and priorities have changed… it’s nice to know America still builds rockets,” Then insert a C6 burning rubber.
