Look out Jim! I just saw a black helicopter land on the grassy knoll! LOL
You really think somebody from GM specified their TV spots be run any time some Chrysler vehicle comes up? Really?? You don't think they run at pre-determined intervals?

They all came with chrome steel bumpers and also the dual cutouts on the rear since they were all 383 cars. The side lights were likely added just because he liked them.

Sorry but yes Barrett-Jackson & their sponsors GM & Ford did actually sit down and discuss those details, in fact it has been going on for a few years now and they even talked about it themselves...I don't like it as well when they cut away, but what can you do...when Chrysler was the sponsor of Barrett-Jackson show that didn't happen, they cut away from the Chevy's & Fords, *cough*cough*, also when they make up that auction list of cars they do predetermine everything with Speed channel, ie: commercials.

Buy what you want but it's a fact that they cut away when Mopars come to the block.

Uhh...my Camaro is a 68, but it's black. The 66 Chevy II is hopefully a week away from being red, depending on Dave's schedule. Little boy? OK. Somehow I knew you'd miss the little smiley face winking at you. That means I was giving you ****. As in a joke.
