Does anybody know what make the car in the Secret deodorant commercial (you know that one where the woman helps the guy fix the flat tire) is? I am referring to the car that the woman is driving. It’s a light blue color.

Come on, I really need your help. This is really bothering me! It looks old, possibly Italian.

It’s a VW Karmann Ghia, iirc.
