    I would have not thought to put the Truckster in it but it brought a smile to my face.

    A-Team van & General Lee are what I think is the most famous cars missing.

    I know people get bent out of shape over the General Lee's roof flag but they could have just had a low camera angle and not shown the roof.

    I liked that the last truck to pull in, the RED & WHITE FORD is the old truck that Sam Walton used to drive for the longest time. This was a great commercial.

    No ones mentioning the Griswold Family Roadster? For shame. Love me some Lampoons Vacation movies.

    Just a great commercial. Too bad shopping at Walmart gives me the exact opposite feels as this commercial.

    Nice.

    Yeah as mentioned need A-Team van, General Lee, maybe Starsky and Hutch, a Bond Car....

    Maybe also Magnum's Ferrari. Heck Add Airwolf, Bandit's Trans Am being loaded with beer(if Burt Reynold's estate will let them add Burt's iconic laugh), Herbie the Love Bug, Bluesmobile...

    When I first saw this on the front page, I questioned the necessity of actually having it on here. Then I watched it, and now I understand the pure awesomeness of it.

    There's no Turtle van because it would have been too costly to mod a van for a brief appearance in a commercial, the A-Team may have been too costly or who ever owns it does not what to be in a Walmart add, and Bond car you can bet would have been too expensive, same for the Star Wars land speeder.

    You're right about that and I'd be willing to bet that Walmart wanted the General Lee but someone suggested that they play it safe and not include it at all.
