Yea, I think there is some manipulation going on.

There is another drug commercial that uses an orange colored mustang, except its modified in AI fashion too. NO side scallops-body lines and weird tail lights.

That was my first thought. In the first picture the top doesn't look like the correct proportion to the rear quarter panel.

That Mustang looks wierd! No side features and square headlights.

Licensing issues? Would they have to pay Ford or GM to use a vehicle in their commercials?

Doubt it. They just know restomod is popular now.

Either that, or they're hallucinations inspired by Ozempic abuse.

Digitally altered and completely de-badged. Heck, some of these kids wouldn't even know it's a Mustang!

Would you ask your doctor about the drug since a classic car was in the ad? Would you refuse to take it if your doctor prescribed it since they digitally altered an Oldsmobile?

I don't think I've ever seen a drug commercial that made me want to call my doctor and say "I need that!" They ALL make me turn the channel, change the station or skip.

I wonder if the whole image is AI..?? "Artificial Intelligence, Make a image with a older couple standing in a garage with a blue 60's type convertible" ???? It is similar to a 68 442 but bumpers are cut off flat and other weird stuff, Yep like that "Mustang" in the other ad. Sad thing is most people won't even notice. Another odd one is where the 2 guys are working on a Road Runner that has no engine. They are messing with a hose clamp on some radiator hose thing a ma bob....
