Re: You Really Should Reconsider
She sure has a set of legs on her!
But I'll take the Chevy over the ugly Dodge. Mopar propaganda.

Re: You Really Should Reconsider
No kidding, first rate. The beautiful blonde's legs near the end of the video nice as well. Real entertaining video, legs icing on the cake.

Re: You Really Should Reconsider
That sure is a lovely C10 about the 3:00 minute mark.

Re: You Really Should Reconsider
They missed the part, off camera at the end of the ad shoot, where the guy with the cowboy hat leaves the parking lot driving the chevy home.

Re: You Really Should Reconsider
The Chevy has long legs on the tailgate, so, Chevy. Now I see them on the Dodge.
Have only owned two Dodge. One a 75 Dart. Cheap car, simple, but the 318 had a lot of carbon build up. Sounded like a jet warming up and took forever to do so. Supposedly a 318 is awesome..............Other was "soccer mom's" mini-van, perhaps an 99. At 50K the tranny & A/C compressor failed, what a piece of junk. That said, I do like those 71 Dodge vans. Can't speak for mechanics, but at a glance they're superior Chevy. There, I said it. I do like Mopar, and would take a few over our trucks. Very cool video K

Re: You Really Should Reconsider

Re: You Really Should Reconsider
The Cheyenne 'Super' option only appeared in 1972.
For 1971 the Cheyenne was tops. On the GMC side... 1972 'Sierra Grande' 1971 'Sierra' Coley

Well, stops at Cheyenne anyway, "buy the Adventurer instead". Have to say it's a nice looking truck. Can't speak for quality. Sure great legs . No such thing as a better pair. Course in a Chevy bed helps. Edit, yeah those Adventurer SE trucks were so cool, try to find one like the video on full display. I looked for a bit and came up empty, though I did find this pic. Cool truck, but for too many reasons they're short a Chevy. Picture is too large. Here's a link. http://allamericanclassic.tumblr.com...edition-pickup Edit x2, cough, probably shouldn't show this.....ha!.........This is a bad *&%*% truck. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ait5GYvxaYI

Re: You Really Should Reconsider
Definitely a cutie! She may be in her 70's now?
Neat video. I can't imagine why GM sold so many C10's now? They did make some great points about the vans. I don't think I've EVER seen a Adventurer SE. Seen quite a few Cheyennes though...

Re: You Really Should Reconsider
1st year for Cheyenne Super was 71. I used to have one!
Only noticeable differences between a 71 and 72 were the tailgate handle, door panels, and the gb door emblem - and if you had a Custom Camper in 71, it replaced the Cheyenne Super fender badges (not the case in 72) Last edited by jocko; 06-09-2017 at 01:56 PM. |

Re: You Really Should Reconsider
The LOOKS of the Dodge and Chevy vans are equal in my opinion but the Chevy trucks look SO much better than the Dodge trucks. Now Blonde or Brunette, I think that's a toss up

Re: You Really Should Reconsider
Cheyenne Super option came along later in '71...not all year option. I guess after they saw this ad they had to run out and come up with a counter model to the SE nobody ordered. Notice they reference all trucks of this era as "glamour trucks". Someone picked up on that and tried to pin it on Chevys in a book, but it was never a term used by Chevy. Chevy, among other things, called them The New Breed, then The Movers, and probably other slogans for the sake of marketing. So they put a Dodge side by side with the Chevy to show it has better styling? Big FAIL!! Hey, I think the Dodges are cool. Very truck looking for some reason. Maybe because they are trucks! The thing with Dodges of this hot truck era was the Ford and Chevys got new styling in '67 and the Dodges were still working with the '61 design. So not in the same era with styling, as a minus to those who need current trends. But the plus is, as a truck, they are built to tougher standards from the prior era. Much more steel,less plastic, and less general bean-counter cut-cornering. They still had a solid beam/leaf spring front end. That is solid heavy duty truck all the way, but even back then comfort was creeping in on market demands.

I think the same was true of the 'tilt wheel' option showing up prior to 1971? (1970?)....with it too, showing up late the previous year. All good Coley

Re: You Really Should Reconsider
I watched that video a few months ago.
I think I might have gotten young Erma smith pregnant just watching the video. Didn't even notice a van or truck in the whole video Those dodges sure didnt fair well around here as you really don't see too many of them at all.
