Chevrolet Sets Guinness Record For World’s Largest Claw Game (Video)

Chevrolet Sonic Claw Game

Whether it was on purpose or not, Chevrolet’s “Let’s Do This” marketing campaign for the Sonic has lead to a new Guinness World Record, and an oddball one at that.

Chevy’s latest stunt involved a five-story 3D projection of a claw game on the side of The Roosevelt Hotel in Los Angeles, resulting in the closing of a couple of lanes on Sunset Boulevard to accommodate the controls, which were a waist-high gearshift and an acclerator pedal. It was so big, in fact, that the bowtie brand earned a spot in the Guinness Book of World Records for having a claw game to rule all claw games. It also counts as the world’s largest interactive projection. You can see it in action in the video below.

    It’s a good thing GM hired Joel Ewanick. I think this guy has done a lot of good for the marketing department.
