Car Used in the Thumbs Up commercial

sumeethaldankar · 5th May 2008, 13:20

Hi,
guys most if you must have seen the Thumbs Up commercial featuring Akshay Kumar and the more interesting orange car (which looks like a Contessa).
Does anybody know whom it belongs to and who was behind the mods ?I simply loved the color and the alloys it sports.

Great... was thinking about the same for quite sometime. I somehow think its a Ford Mustang.

That surely isnt a contessa..it looked like a mustang to me

ramie2400 · 5th May 2008, 13:48

I think the car used in the commercial is opel Manta (I may be wrong also )

Looks like a first generation Chevy Camaro to me

ethanhunt123 · 5th May 2008, 14:03

Not a Mustang for sure. Looks like Manta to me as well.

jayz · 5th May 2008, 14:11

Its a 1970's Opel Manta.

vvvinod · 5th May 2008, 14:23

for me it looked like Ford Mastang!!!

amtak · 5th May 2008, 14:25

Somehow it does look more like the camaro than Manta. How about asking askshay?

Muscle cars had just hit the gym in the 70's. some to loose the "flab" and some to get it!

I feel its a 1970's Dodge challenger replica. Looks too small to be the real thing. Maybe something like the countach replica in mumbai!!

Well see the 2 images for Ford Mustang and Opel Manta....both have a resemblence look....

Damn!

hard to decide which one was it?

My heart says its close to Mustang~
