Nissan asked the fans what they wanted to be done with the car and the response was; Restore it! Now you can’t say ‘no’ to the people, can you? So Nissan went ahead and restored it and asked Luke to make another commercial for the restored car as well. The restoration took Nissan about 6 months and the follow-up video is as good as the first one.Bought From Craigslist and Restored by Nissan – The Nissan '96 Maxima Bought From Craigslist and Restored by Nissan – The Nissan '96 Maxima 3
