Due to the overwhelmingly positive response to the latest Falcon Ute ad, Ford Australia has decided to auction two of its most popular props, the Falcon XR Ute Recliners, and donate the proceeds to the National Breast Cancer Foundation.
In the TV ad, we see two “blokes” crossing a road in their ‘motorised’ recliners – every man’s dream piece of living room furniture!
The two props that were made especially for the shoot (and are not in fact motorised) went live on eBay at 11am this morning. Bidding ends 11am Thursday 6 September.
The winning bidder will also receive a prize pack for two adults containing a three day Blue Oval Club hospitality package to the Bathurst 1000, as well as a hospitality package to the Cricket One Day International in Melbourne (Australia vs India, 10th Feb).
