Default Re: mopar playing a different game in 70 than GM/Ford

Two of my favorite "in your face" Mopar ads were the 1967 Plymouth GTX ad that states, "Caught our Strip Show yet?", with the Sox & Martin GTX leaving the line at the dragstrip, with the words "strip show" capitalized, suggesting a dirty stripper show.

The other is the one that shows an empty Daytona race track at dusk, with the caption, "Where tigers fear to tread", a direct shot at the 1964-1966 Pontiac GTO tiger-themed ad campaign. GM's top selling performance car, the GTO, was not on stock car racing tracks due to the GM corporate racing ban, so it was Chrysler's way of sticking their collective tongues out at the hot selling Pontiac.
