Like a lot of folks, sitting around with not much to do. Decided to try a little project I've been thinking about for a while. I always thought the Pontiac ad for the '87 Formula was pretty cool, so I produced a version with my Formula substituted for the yellow car originally in the ad. Thought I'd post it here and see what you all think.

 

Looks great, it look like the original ad.

I think yours looks the best too.

 

Nice.
Was the 5.7 really limited or was that a marketing tactic by GM?

 

Well, you had to order things just right to get the 5.7L, it wasn't a standard option on the Formula. That's probably what they were using as the basis for their claim.

The Photoshop looks pretty good. Need to add a little grainy effect to make the car look more like part of the add and less of a high resolution paste.

 

That looks amazing! Well done! Any more pics of your car?

 

I'm going to start using words like "hi-potency", and "mega-dose", and quote engine specs in "fuel-injected Hp"

 

I shot this a couple of weeks ago. Getting close to turning over 20,000 miles.

 

While I am sure your car is nice, that's a terrible picture with respect to lighting, plus the fence posts "growing" from the roof and back hatch.

Focus on the car, not "scenery" which does not matter. No pun intended.

 

This wasn't a planned shoot, just the most recent shot I had. I have to agree with everything you said...

 

Gorgeous!! Thanks for posting! What drivetrain?

 

Originally LO3 5.0 TBI/Auto/2.73. Now L31 5.7 TPI/Auto/3.23 Posi.

 

Thanks - and I hope I did not come across as super critical, just trying to be helpful.

I do like the ad you created.

 

Your car is definitely better looking than the yellow. VERY cool

 

No worries...

 

Reviving an old post -

@rt66er Your awesome "photoshop" Formula ad made for fun debate on my FB Pontiac T/A group page - the pic was found on the internet by a member
that insisted it was a factory Pontiac original ad - point is once a "spoof" pic hits the internet you never know where/how it will be used - Luckily Pontiac cant get
involved in copyright infringement I must say it was AMAZING work because it looks like a "factory original" ad

 

Thanks! Just an innocent bit of fun...

 

Thinking we can improve the marketing words as well. I'll go first.

WANT THE GIRL. GET THE CAR.
