1969 Dodge Charger SE Commercial

Oh baby.

Where did they go.

I mean the miniskirts and the go-go boots of course.

Damn; I would have almost sworn that a Confederate Flag for the roof was an option that year...

Why was Super Mario operating the crane?

The '69 Charger was a dull car in base form, with a 318cid V8, three-speed automatic transmission and bias-ply tires.

The hot package was the R/T. It came standard with a 440cid V8, uprated suspension, brakes and tires, a four-speed transmission and some body upgrades. It could be optioned to have the legendary 426cid hemi engine, a powerplant that produced more than 500 horsepower.

Man, I hate weenie econocars.

Troop- Posting about cars and American car companies and hanging around that Hasenstab guy is likely to get you Instalaunched. Just sayin'

Did you catch a few bits of "Do you know the way to San Jose?" in the final seconds?

Dodge is turning UP the fever now...

Great commercials and cars Trooper. How did America fuck up the car industry and how did Americans become such pussies and Prius lovers?

Ptew! I spit and fart in our own general direction!

I remember all of the cars in the videos. I drove them and drag raced some of them when I was sixteen.

The best of Detroit is gone forever. Soon, we will be like the Eurogreenieweenies. Driving econo boxes that fall apart at forty miles per hour. The government will never allow real cars again.

Now that Trooper's blogging about cars, I suppose I'll have to start running polls about which super hero has the biggest cannoli. Or something like that

Thanks anyway guys, but I much prefer to fly under the radar.

It's a lot safer that way.

I think you've said that before, Trooper, and I think that's cool. Keeps TY a special place, IMO.

A few of us just can't help wishing you got more notice for your comedic genius here. ;-)

Too modest Trooper.

Wall to wall Adrienne Barbeau would lure him to at least look here for sure like it did last time.

BTW, have you used up all your best pics of her?

It's amazing how our way of life is changed in 10 seconds flat with no debate. When the EPA mandated 39 miles per gallon there goes the end of cars with enough weight and horsepower to make driving a safe or pleasurable experience. Was it debated? Did congress vote on it? On top of everything else it was based on an envirowhacky fantasy.

"Do you know the way to San Jose?" in the final seconds?.

Thanks. I was humming that all day and couldn't remember the name.

Probably because I was only 2 in 1969.

What a shame, HD, you missed a good summer.

Trooper, post a pic of Adrienne Barbeau, and call it "Dr. Helen before she met that lawyer guy" and see what happens.

I'm thinkin' you'll get noticed.

Paging Trooper York! Paging Trooper York!

The script department needs you to whip up some dialogue for this happy event.

Which one Penny, the summer of '69 or the infamous Summer of Love?
