Need to sell that old, junky car, but don't think anyone will purchase it? Do what Florida filmmaker Luker Aker did: make a blockbuster-style sales ad!
Burdened by an old, yet faithful, 1996 Nissan Maxima GLE, Acker decided to creatively sell the car by making a one-minute spoof video of its wide-range of features, which include ripped up leather seats and a beat-up bumper held on solely by a ratchet strap. Memorable shots of the Golden Gate Bridge and the Eiffel Tower further accentuate the jokingly serious tone of the ad, as well as a music-accompanied narrative.
After Acker uploaded the video to YouTube, it quickly became a viral sensation. It wasn't long before Nissan got wind of the fantastic homage and then decided to purchase the car. To show their gratitude, they also donated $1,000 dollars to a charity of Acker's choice.
