The commercial starts with overhead helicopter footage (maybe from the original movie?) of a white '70 Challenger streaking across the desert (with great engine audio).
Next (digitally?) a transformation takes place, like in Back to the Future.......you see all the flashes and lightening but don't actually see the car.
A flash shot of the highway - 2 tire tracks on fire into the distance. You hear (but do not see) the car screech to a halt sideways in the road.
The next shot is a car .....covered in dry ice.....popping, sizzling, crackling and smoking......this is shown for several seconds with no other action (for effect).
Then, finally, with a mighty crack, the driver's door opens and all of the ice falls to the ground revealing a white 2008 Challenger.
The present-day Barry Newman steps out, looks into the camera, and says: "You thought you couldn't go back, but you can"..............

I loved that movie!
You should get a check for creative consultant fees AFTER thay made what would have been a GREAT and effective commercial.
It read good enough I was seeing it as I read it.
