An ad that speaks to me

I love cars. And simply put, so does America. Car's are a huge part of my life, and this early model, American made Barracuda happens to be one of my very favorites (as well as one of America's!). Even though this ad is nearly 50 years old, it greatly appeals to me in many ways. I have been waiting for a fastback that seats 5 and has a 7-foot-long cargo space with a four-on-the-floor and 273 V8 (although I could also deal with a 383). $2500 is a number I can work with, sure! That is why I chose this advertisement from the 60s. Reliving a past that was never mine and claiming a future to be. My ship will come, it just might be a little rusty by now....
