1969 Plymouth Road Runner Commercial – Motor Trend’s Car of The Year

In this day and age, it might seem like most measures of advertising are refined and watered down versions of what car companies could really head out there and accomplish with an aggressive vision, but back in the 60s and 70s, there wasn’t really a path for the companies to take when it came to ads on television, so things got creative.

This time, we let nostalgia make its way to the pages of Speed Society as we check out a Motor Trend Car of the Year announcement advertisement as the 1969 Plymouth Road Runner would take home that honor and use the likes of a popular cartoon to tell you all about it.

Tune in to a simpler time down below as Wile E. Coyote and the Roadrunner use their comedic talents to announce the car that shares the same name. What do you think of the way that commercials were in a time like this versus how they seem to be in this day and age?
