Vintage Car Ad: 1978 Dodge Challenger

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XLRE0OnMXjw

The mid-1970?s to mid-1980?s was considered to be the dark ages for automobiles here in the United States. Smog regulations increased and rising insurance premiums all but killed off the powerhouses of the muscle car era. That left us with tiny cheaply built imports and domestics that literally ripped the heart from the performance enthusiast. Manufacturers did everything they could think of in those dark times to sell cars, but unfortunately crappy cars brought dismal sales. One such action taken by the auto industry was the renaming of new models with the popular names of performance cars that were killed off earlier in the decade.
