    Check out this old ad. There is no mention of cup holders, GPS, back up cameras, air bags, or any of those important things.
    Just rediculous drivel about engines, chassis, running gear, and other unimportant things.

    All I care about is Dinah Shore singing "See the USA in your Chevrolet!" Since cars and trucks now don't have to really worry about engine power, safety, looks or utility, they now use the option list to sell them.

    "They say Plymouth makes it!" If that isn't sexually suggestive advertising, then I don't know what is.
