I am not sure of the year, either a 2005 or a 2006, but it is a Ferrari F430 F1 Spider.

I'm sorry, I meant the Vonage van.

I am not 100% sure, but I think it is a 1964 GMC Van.

Nope DC, Its a 61 to 64 Ford Econoline. I'm the Moderator at the largest site for these vans on the web, Yahoo's OldEconolines. These trucks came in several models including a PU all having a stock 6 cyl motor. A number of people are installing V8's and I've been trying to find out who owns the ad truck since it first came out. You see it's kind of a Hero to the group since we get very little respect in such a funny looking truck. We all love them and any exposure like this is fantastic. So if anyone knows who the ad agency is or a way to get in touch with someone who may know the owner let me know at sdolan@scannersllc.com

Thanks,
Steve

DConner:

You are mistaken or were given erroneous information, the car in the commercial is a Ferrari 360 Spider - not a F430. Among other differences, the F430 has different mirrors, taillights, and side cladding. Can't tell if the car is F1 or manual transmission but odds are that it is an F1 as 9/10 cars are so equipped. FYI, Ferrari manufactured the 360 Spider from 2000 until 2005.

Best wishes,
Scottie
