Lyrics used in the commercial

Bung, bung, bung, bung, bung, bung
Bung, bung, bung, bung, bung, bung, bung
Mr. Sandman, bring me a dream (bung, bung, bung, bung
Make him the cutest that I've ever seen (bung, bung, bung, bung)
Give him two lips like roses and clover (bung, bung, bung, bung)
Then tell him that his lonesome nights are over
Sandman

Description

The people are dressed old fashioned, in a style that plays off the popularity of the television series Mad Men. But they talk about the features of a modern car - the Toyota Avalon - such as voice-activated navigation. "So they can get to 'the city'". The theme goes with the idea that "comfort is back" with the Avalon.

Sadly, the train is a fake. Note that it is styled like a steam engine from the 1930's, but, there are doors and windows all along the side. the interior appears to be lit up. I suspect they started with a bus or an RV as the basic shape and added Art Deco details and styling. I sure wish there were more photos or renderings available. I would enjoy making one of these for my model railroad. Maybe MTH will make one like they made the beer train - another very handsome fake train.
