Dodge Charger R/T advertisement (1970)
Ads like this make me wish (only for some brief moments) I had grown up in the States in the early 60’s. They still do work their magic, mainly because I think us Europeans sometimes envy americans for the muscle car era that we never had.
It still is “you, me, and my car”, it has always been. Plus, we never had the chance to be proud of knowing how to shift — everyone does. Perhaps I could teach someone how to drive an auto?
