Hotel Hell Vacation: Family Truckster, Griswolds reunite on Superbowl Sunday

We’re not sure how this one eluded us, but vacation property rental company HomeAway has put Chevy Chase, Beverly D’Angelo and Gary Schneider’s replica Family Truckster together for a Superbowl ad and associated short film.

According to their press releases, HomeAway has developed a 15-minute short film with the Griswolds, which will go live on their website on February 7. The ad campaign will include the movie, original Family Vacation clips, contests and Wagon Queen-themed games. HomeAway also plans on touring their new Truckster nationwide.

But for now, they have the ad up, as well as a well-produced but meaningless “making of” advertorial. We’ll look forward to the full film on Sunday; for now, enjoy the preview. It’s Chevy’s best work since Cola Turka (which has him driving another kickass wagon in part II, incidentally. Sweet ’stache.).
