The Steve McQueen car commercial you probably didn't see... Ford Puma

Steve McQueen commercials

A few years ago, about 4, Steve McQueen was digitally added to a commercial. He walked out of a cornfield, onto a freshly paved one lane race course through that cornfield, was handed a set of keys to the brand new design of the Mustang... and he went for a spin.

A similar kind of commecial was made for a different Ford car, the Puma... and Steve was digitally added to this one too, in a scenario that recalls the "Bullitt" street chase. No idea if the Puma (or this commercial) ever went into production overseas, but it never became a production model here in the US.

At auction:1963 Ferrari 250 GT Berlinetta Lusso, it was Steve Mcqueen's daily driver for 10 years

Expected to rake in as much as $1.2 million, experts are saying the Lusso is the finest example of its kind on the market today, which is saying quite a lot considering it served as McQueen's daily driver for 10 years

The cool 2005 Mustang commercial, corn field, build it and they will come, Steve takes the new stang for a drive http://youtube.com/watch?v=UZzXHq7gKN8

The daily driver was a Rolls-Royce and while the car was driven conservatively over the cobblestone streets of Boston's elegant Beacon Hill district, one gets the feeling he was enjoying that experience, too. By the way, McQueen's contract during the period when he was Hollywood's highest paid and most popular star called for him to be given the cars he drove in his movies. His Jaguar XKSS, one of few ever built, is a road-going version of the beautiful and charismatic racing D type.
