Mystery Lexus Ad: Can You Find It?

By -

mystery-clip.jpgSo what was the commercial the editors
couldn’t find? It was the 1993 ad where classical virtuoso Manuel
Barrueco plays “Asturias” on the guitar in the backseat of a Lexus.
Here’s a quote from the Baltimore Sun explaining the spot:


For
all his professional successes, Mr. Barrueco is still amazed at how
many people recognize him from his brief appearance two years ago on
American TV. He was featured in a national advertisement, playing Isaac
Albeniz’s “Asturias” in the back seat of a moving Lexus. He says people
still stop him on the street or in restaurants to ask if he was “that
guy playing the guitar in the car.

Why this seems to have disappeared, I don’t know. But I’ll personally send
a bag of Tootsie Pops to the first person who posts a link to it on this forum thread. For serious (Continental US only). Until then, here’s a video of the
LFA doing donuts.
