Modern Lincolns Aren’t Normal Fords Now, some might say that “Your title is wrong, in the fact that the Lincoln Motor Company was acquired by Ford Motor Company in 1922, and that very fact makes them just a Ford. (Wiki)” While that may be true, in the objective sense, and partially in the subjective sense circa. 2008, I will explain while you are wrong later. There have been two advertisements for two different vehicles released by Lincoln, one for the Lincoln Continental, and one for the Lincoln MKX. One is a sedan, and the other is a Sport Utility Vehicle, and they are both providing a way to stand out of the normal realm that Lincoln has been trapped in, and really shine away from Ford. Starting off with the Continental Commercial, …show more content…
The last twenty seconds or so of the commercial show some driving around in the water, and it goes over the Features that the Continental shares with other Lincoln Cars, the Silverwood center console that came with the Chalet theme for the Black Label, the sliding cup holder cover, the Sync 3 infotainment system that it shares with the Ford vehicles, and other standard Lincoln amenities. The second commercial is the feature for the Lincoln MKX, called “Welcome” which is the second largest sized SUV out of the four that Lincoln offers, and is based on the Ford Edge chassis. This Commercial starts out with Matthew McConaughey getting dressed up, shows him putting on a nice white shirt, putting on an expensive looking watch, and then immediately flashes to a short scene of the front Grille of the MKX, signaling that the MKX is just as nice. He puts on a black suit jacket, and starts to walk towards the door to go to whatever expensive party that he is getting dressed up for. As he is walking out the door, he walks by a table next to the door that has a single Lincoln key, which signals to me that the MKX is the only car that you need. It shows the entrance illumination feature that comes with the MKX, where the Lincoln emblem gets projected onto the ground from the mirror. After he sits in the driver’s seat, it shows him pushing the start button, and it flashes to the tachometer, and displays a very
In order to connect to audience emotionally, both of these commercials incorporate the exaggeration of a particular situation to ignite humor and laughter among the audience. In the Allstate commercial, a man is holding onto the side of a car to portray the driver’s blind spot, telling the driver that the coast is clear. Suddenly, a truck comes out of nowhere, causing an accident. This is humorous because the sight of the man hanging on the side of the vehicle, acting as the blind spot, provides an exaggeration that causes the audience to laugh (“Blind Spot Commercial | Allstate Mayhem” Internet). This displays the danger of driving in order to catch the audience’s attention. In the State Farm
The Ford Commercial showed different scenarios of people getting stuck in bad situations and they couldn't get help, until ford came by and rescued them. For example, there was a man with his car that was stuck in the snow and he was waving his hands at passing vehicles trying to get them to stop so they could help him out. Then when nobody came, the next scene with that man showed a Ford truck towing his car out of the snow. This commercial also had Narration throughout the whole video so it was would be easy to understand what was going

Two commercials were supposed to be found from the Superbowl that were most persuasive when someone watched them. The two commercials that were found most persuasive during the Superbowl was an ad about the Alfa Romeo car company. During this ad it showed the basics of the car and how it worked. It showed The Timeline of the car from way back then to now. The ad showed how reliable their car was. It showed how popular it has been during the timeline of selling their cars. They Showed prices for their cars, and most cars were sold at a reasonable price. These are most of the main reasons why this car ad could be persuasive to most people.
Henry Ford had a strong passion for automobiles. Many of his neighbors knew him and saw the work ethic he had. His garage was the happening place for many young boys because they peeked through the windows to watch him work on automobiles. A boy that lived down the street from Ford was Abner Schutt. This young man was amazed by what Ford did. Although the elderly in his town did not think too much of Ford, the young were inspired and followed him.
The ad starts out with shaky footage of an industrial city looking pretty gloomy. This illustrates how many view Detroit. The narrator of the ad starts the monologue of by posing a question, “what does this city know about luxury? Hm?”. This statement use irony to make the audience think. An image of a Detroit Interstate sign is presented. The narrator asks “What does a town that has been to hell and back know about the finer things in life?”. He answers his own question with “more than most.”. Throughout this monologue more images of Detroit are presented. Some examples are an American flag, abandon build, and downtown area. Images like these help the audience visualize the variety of Detroit. After the first part of monologue, a shoot of a car’s rear view and side mirror are displayed. This builds anticipation of what is to come. Then the front façade of what can be presumed as the same vehicle is quickly displayed. After that, an iron sculpture of an arm is displayed, followed by a painting of men work on engines. This image reinforces that Detroit is the Motor City. While those images are being displayed, the narrator begins the monologue again with “it’s the hottest fires that make the hardest
With the success of the assembly line, Ford was very please however he had a bigger goal set. Ford wanted to produce cheap cars for the common people to use. Ford made many different types of cars and experimented with each of them. They were all good but not good enough. After many different models, Ford achieved his goal with his invention of the Ford Model T. The Model T was a fully functional compact automobile with a good transmission and torque as well as comfort and size. Apart from that, the most important aspect of the Model T was that is was extremely cheap. As Sobel states,”...the model T was only worth $290 in 1924.” This was a huge

The commercial is structured as a movie trailer and in the end there is a happy ending as Clint Eastwood says, " yeah it's halftime America, and our second half is about to begin" (Eastwood). With his words, we see that the car industry has gotten past the struggles and is now moving into a better
During the commercial images appear in white and black, a Tesla car is driving through a mining field for oil. While the car continues to drive past I see a section of gas tanks, oil trucks, and containers used for gas piled on top one another as the car is driving the objects start to float up to the sky. Then people appear in what looks to be older clothes covered in dirt, while holding gasoline containers the expression on their faces seems to be of sadness and exhaustion. When the car comes to a stop the individuals drop the containers of gasoline they get in the car and begin to drive off. Once the car starts to drive the commercial changes from black and white to color while the music changes to an upbeat melody. The setting of the video
"Trust our company, love our brands and delight in our services." This is the theme of Ford's global brand strategy. Ford's approach to brand marketing is that of six distinctive vehicle brands and four distinctive service brands. Among these vehicle brands are Mercury, Lincoln, Ford, Jaguar, Aston Martin, Mazda, and soon Volvo. With several different brands under the name Ford a number of products with an overwhelming set of characteristics has been developed. These strong brand names, along with unique models within each brand assist Ford to build long-term, sustainable links to customers throughout the world. (For a listing of Ford models, see appendix.) People automatically associate certain nameplates to Ford, such as the Mustang, Thunderbird, and the ever popular Taurus. The brand characteristic of a Ford truck is "Built Ford Tough," while the characteristics of a sport utility vehicle is ,"go anywhere, do anything, practical adventure." The Jaguar XJR is another example of a unique brand of Ford. There are no others like it on the market today. The XJR is targeted at those customers who are looking for that extravagant "muscle" car. All of these sub-brands share the same global promise of the Ford Motor Company.
In their respective ads, Cadillac and Ford communicate messages about their costumers' lifestyle -their consuming habits worth comparing and contrasting.

A Lincoln sedan cruises through the streets at night, while Matthew McConaughey monologues about something seemingly deep in nature as the city lights twinkle in the background behind them.
