NEW YORK Ford will put Steve McQueen back in a starring role next month when a digitally reproduced image of the late actor appears in a national TV spot for the 2005 Mustang.

The spot, via WPP Group’s J. Walter Thompson in Detroit, not only evokes McQueen’s role in the 1968 film Bullitt, in which he plays a San Francisco cop who tracks down criminals behind the wheel of a Mustang, but also the 1989 movie Field of Dreams.
