"Parallel Parking" Commercial - 21st Century Insurance: Same Great Coverage For Less Old

[jamavan]

anybody that thinks old cars are better built than new cars - check out the consumer reports 2009 malibu vs 1959 Bel Air video

[TheSollazzi]

They fixed the wrong vehicle in this ad. The blue and red "faux"tomobiles were pieces of shit before they ever left the assembly line. The Caddy ragtop is the real treasure worth protecting in this ad.

[ethionate]

Did they use real cars for all their commercials. Cause it looks like they wasted a lot of money,

[montygue1954]

Sad to see a car so incorrectly restored. Wrong dashboard and dimmer color, wrong whitewalls and hubcaps, wrong trim on the side ETC. Closer inspection would show many other mistakes.

[Skizzo321]

Having had my same-year Miata bashed in by parking lot hit-n-run trucks, this video is not amusing at all

[TheSollazzi]

@Skizzo321 You drive a Miata? I'm sorry.

[CARandDRlVER]

That's why I'm buying a big ass Cadillac

[kingstewierblx]

This makes me feel bad when I'm saving money for a BMW :(

[LedZeppelinGuy6880]

That's how you can park in NYC with an older car like a 1960s Cadillac. Now imagine they made one of that Cadillac going 50 MPH downhill into the side of a prius...

[Blocklandbrian498]

Didn't even scratch the Caddy.

[zeno57]

Why dont they put steel bumpers od cars anymore ? Plastic bumpers rot.

[vpiedra1]

That's why I'm buying an older car......

[lasuvidaboy]

I cringe every time I see this commercial. Taking that beautiful '62 Cadillac and hitting those two little Miatas. The Miatas 'bumpers' fell off while the Caddy had minimal damage.

[MrDeath808]

gay

[musicalgenius98]

At 0:30, it says that 21ST saved 516$ a year. So true.

[irenaprude2010]

The 21st Century commercial makes him look VERY gay. He looks like a fudgepacker in these commercials.

[csun2]

I deeply protest the Miata bashing in this commercial and so will never EVER even consider 21st Century Auto Insurance. FAIL.

[ratspit222]

every time I see this I LMFAO I love the Caddy that cars a f'n tank real steel bumpers and all . the best part is when he gets parked he looks up at the camera and shrugs like F--K IT.

[9LivesGT]

The ad agency for 21st has succeeded in offending alienating both Miata owners (over 900,000 Miatas sold), and classic car owners with this ad. I can't believe they didn't think to realize that owners of Miata sportscars lovingly care for them. It's offensive to see this company carelessly smashing them to bits.Their CEO must be a complete BUTTHEAD. Bet the "after" shots in the ad were taken actually BEFORE they destroyed the cars, and the execs wrote the cars off as a loss to a salvage yard.

[Vipervoices]

So when did rear bumper and front bumper became the same bullshit commercial

[mgospeed31]

Ha, I just realized that's Joey Slotnick.

[FredCDobbs00]

I hope both 21st Century (FKA AIG) and Progressive go out of business because they both suck. The stupidest series of ads I've ever seen. The fact that these companies spend so much on TV ads only proves how much they are ripping off the public.

[bellbell7]

my poor baby :( that blue miata looks like like mine and this commercial just makes me cringe when i see it.

[trogdorpontiac]

Poor Miata's... :(

[JamesPriceJohnson]

personally, i love all these commercials. they are funny as hell. and if you observe the Cadillac LIKE STATED BEFORE, there is no damage whatsoever. So everybody, calm down, because if you have an older big car i'm sure you've done this before lol

[wyofire]

I like the curb feelers.

[98AuWing]

The massage I got was drive an older car ... they're made better & stronger.

[empyreon1e]

@98AuWing Until you crash. Older cars were so heavily made that instead of reducing passenger acceleration upon impact--like modern cars are designed to do--they just left you up to chance. Nicer to look at, but were essentially screaming metal death-traps.

[LuvmyMiata]

I'm keeping track of all the Insurance Companies who destroy Miata's in their commercials and staying away from them! This is the second one so far.

[perzaklie]

I think I figured out that it's a 1962 Cadillac Series 62 convertible.

[perzaklie]

What year is the Caddy convert?

[asdf12345678961]

Can someone give me the name of the white car?

[katieducky23]

@asdf12345678961 Looks like either a Cadillac or a classic Chrystler. What year if i had to guess would be late 50's like maybe a 59 - early 60's no later than 63.

[gmaLinda9]

Does anyone know what make/model the convertibles are?



[hemidenis]

Dear 21st, your commercials smashing cars are really bad, but went a bit too far with the Cadillac.

[sr71ablackbird]

@hemidenis the caddie looks just fine to me, look at the other ones compared to the caddie.

[grahambhg1]

And why isn't the driver of the white car liable for damages? Stupid car insurance commercial!

[sr71ablackbird]

@grahambhg1 because, the cars on both ends are nothing but P.O.Ss made these days, that's why !!!!

[Chevelledune]

it bent the bumpers up you tell by the way they move on the sides...still sad and resckless

[sr71ablackbird]

@Chevelledune ok, so it may have bent the bumper up a bit, but look at what happened to those P.O.S.s on the ends of it.

[Trey2148]

What is the big white car?

Year and model

[JamesPriceJohnson]

@Trey2148 i think a 1961 cadillac eldorado

[Trey2148]

@JamesPriceJohnson Thanks.

[vinycard]

@ericbrow123 - Everytime one of these commercials comes on my TV I flip the channel cause all they do is trash nice looking cars... I hate watching them! Glad there are other people that feel the same way I do...

[rgonzales158]

They are not the same damage so they should not even try to compare even the door ding comerial whos to say one damage cost more than the other on the one with the door ding whos to say the left door is cheaper. Here is an small scale sample i have a 79 camaro and the door handles crack easy and i have to replace them often the left door handle is $20 and the right is $30 and ther are from the same company so these comercials are false on "same" damage claim

[blaqteastain]

ha, I have that car. Except its not a convertible

.

[chevyguy000]

OH MY GOD!!! i almost passed out when i saw this commercial. what the hell goes through peoples minds to even possibly think of making this awful commercial.

[sr71ablackbird]

@chevyguy000 probably pointing out how crappy the other cars were made compared to the classic one there.

[FredCDobbs00]

These destructive 21st century ads are a real turn off to me the one with the jackass on the lawn mower was bad enough but to smash two sports cars and violate a gorgious Caddy convertible like that shows 21st century has no heart. What can you expect from a company that use to go by the name AIG. You should fire your ad agency because they are costing you business.

[lavoiee1]

Are those 2011 Miatas?

[trancedsailor]

@lavoiee1 No, they are from the NB generation 1999-2005. I have a 1996, that's why I know.

[bellbell7]

@lavoiee1 nope, 02

[stevebell71]

No worries it's not real. It is computer generated.

[EnviousEyes23]

It's okay because the bro engineer did it.

[Kaila2018]

Funny ad, but what a waste of a muscle car!

[ericbrow123]

Wow...I'm really glad I don't have 21st Century insurance. I sure as hell wouldn't have it after seeing this commercial.. What were you trying to prove? Why don't you take the money you waste smashing cars in your commercials and lower your customers rates?

[willDANCEforPENNIES]

I am canceling my 21st century insurance. That Cadillac is a classic, how dare you smash it up like that. You just lost a customer.

[rezisehtnys]

@willDANCEforPENNIES

It didn't hurt the Caddy. I have the generation after that one, may or may not have done that before... xD

[sr71ablackbird]

@willDANCEforPENNIES if you are talking about the car in the middle, it didn't even put a ding in the bumper compared to the crap that they make today. That is how much better the cars were made back then.

[deloreanman14]

@sr71ablackbird - Well also consider that if involved in a high-speed crash with the old car, since it doesn't absorb any energy in the crash, you will and your chances of being severely injured are killed go up drastically. Just facts.

[sr71ablackbird]

@deloreanman14 that's bullshit and you know that as well as i do, have you ever seen one of those classics and one of those p.o.s's made these days get into a wreck ? I have. and the outcome was NOT all that great for the p.o.s. that was made these days was all wrecked on one side where it hardly even dinged the fender on the older one, so stick that in your peace pipe and smoke it pochahantis !!!! the crap we have today is nothing but B.S. that there is your 'Just facts'.

[sr71ablackbird]

@deloreanman14 if your age is correct on your profile, kiddo, you haven't been around long enough to actually know what went into building that 'old car' it was called, good old-fashioned planning, ingenuity and good old-fashined hard work, long before them damned robots took over the welding. So, it doesn't absorb any energy ? no, those new P.O.S.s did, that's why their ends fell off, damn it kid, do your history !!!!

[sr71ablackbird]

@willDANCEforPENNIES hey will, no need to fret any, no damage was sustatined to the classic caddie there, for it didn't incur any injuries, it was just demonstrating how that crap these days are nothing more than a p.o.s. compared the the way they made that classic there.

[VampireLilyHellsing]

This is my fathers favorite one he laughes like a hyena every time he sees it.

[JamesPriceJohnson]

lmfao everybody is talking abuot why would you do that to a cadillac. Look at it, do you see any damage? CADDY STRENGTH BABY. I love old cars <3

[sr71ablackbird]

@JamesPriceJohnson thank goodness, someone that i can agree with, the only damage i see is to the 2 crappy cars that are made these days, 'they don't build them like they used to'. that's the truth. I would rather have that one than any brand new p.o.s. made these days.

[Chevelledune]

cant belive you guys would do that to such a nice caddy...lame

[sr71ablackbird]

@Chevelledune hey, don't worry about the caddie, it's ok, hell that thing could probably drive over both of those new P.O.S.s and not even get a scratch.

[laughingcrows]

Man, you guys are so wasteful and destructive on these ads. It makes me not want to do business with you. Was that the desired effect?

[sr71ablackbird]

@laughingcrows the desired effect is that the crappy way they make cars today, they don't make them like they used to !!!!!

[doberfag]

the caddy is worth more that both those cars put together

[WizPreeFresh]

WHAT OTHER COMMERCIALS IS THIS VOICE FROM?!!?!?! SOMEONE HELP IF YOU KNOW.

[AaronGA1983]

I want the insurance that the big white car has lol, if i can do stuff like that then It would be much easier parking in the city.
