Ford to Cadillac: There’s Another America Out There

The ads run against each other like counterpoint: He is a middle-aged, rich, white, suburban guy. She is a black woman living in a small urban apartment. He praises America for being harder working than “other countries.” She presents herself and “more and more” Americans as a citizens of the globe, “crazy entrepreneurs trying to make the world better.” Oh, and one more detail: Cadillac man is an actor, an impression of an American. Ford lady? She’s real.
