New car ads from back in the day newspaper.

I love seeing these ads. I'll take two of each. Seeing the vin numbers; maybe someone here owns any of these cars?

Those are really cool!

This was posted here long ago.......

Thanks for posting. Neat!

I'm going to call & see if they will take a deposit on the Superbird. Man, when can we go back?

I love seeing all that old stuff from back in the day.

Love seeing those old ads no matter how many times they come up.

Question is, which one? The Duster is tempting with the floor speed. Or the GTX or Superbird with the 440 six pac.
Seriously, even figured in 2020 dollars, I'd buy any one of them in a heartbeat.

Would have been even more of a tease if they had listed the colors.

EDIT: Oops now I see the "factory sticker" prices. WOW WHAT A BUNCH OF DEALS

They were probably ALL GREEN so that may not have been a tease but more of a turn off for everyone but me

Original ad for my 1961 Chrysler 300G, Jan 27th, 1961. Teague Motors in Salem, OR.

Original ad, that's pretty cool.

Here is a rather bizarre ad from 1969
Obviously not the same dealer in the original post. This one is located in NY.

What are "Rasah Clips?"

My son's Dart. Ad from 1970 in Daly City while my GTS was for sale at Van Ness Dodge in SF...

those were the bare spark plug terminals that were guaranteed to have a perfect connection to the plug and not come loose.
they were very popular with the flat head ford guys back in the 50's.
also spelled as Rajah.

I still get a kick out of the classified ads in the back of the old Hot Rod magazines (yes, I still have a bunch from the early 70's). You could have had a pretty incredible car for less than $2k - Hemis, Nomads, etc.

Those old adds are a lot of fun to read.

I love the 300/G ad, "test it's fiery behavior"

Superbird VIN is wrong

No superbird our of LA plant “E”

I’m guessing just a typo and the rest is correct?

Is this bird known? Most survived and many have ownership history’s

Inflation is up about 6x from 1970 so that Superbird would be $27,000 in today's dollars. Not a bad price really for a new car today. Cheap enough that a guy working for $25 an hour could afford it, especially with some overtime. Entry level muslecars these days are about 50% more expensive in real dollar terms than they were back in 1970.

I always thought this magazine ad was SO COOL.

Ok larryLOVEit.... you’ve convinced me ....

I’ll accept that same formula on that rarely used M body of yours

Oh man, they were ALL cool! It was the era of cool.

True story: a guy I used to work with knew the Plum Crazy blonde model - she posed with the Plum Crazy Challenger ads in 1970. Se was the receptionist at his dentist in Union Lake, MI. He had some kind of Mopar T-shirt on one day at an appointment & she tells him she used to model for Dodge. Uh yeah - OK........... So she tells him to come by the next day & she had a bunch of photos from the different photo shoots. Sure enough - it was her. *I never saw any of these, but I always thought this was SO cool. He said she was a far cry from her younger days. Happens to us all unless you are Sophia or Racquel!

Tough question. Back in those days I would've gone for the GTX. The Superbird was just too weird of a car back then, especially for a daily driver. I wasn't a big fan of either A body cars or E body cars back in the 70's although they have grown on me since. I loved the B body cars. My best friend in high school had a '70 RR with the 440+6, air grabber hood, four speed and Dana 60. I think he paid $1500 for it on a used car lot. That was probably my favorite car in high school.

It’s almost back on the road

That's way too cool and kind of funny in the way you wrote the "a guy I used to work with knew the Plum Crazy blonde model" When I read it I thought it was going to be some crazy story how she went postal on him during a date or cruising Woodward one evening back in the day
