History on Dodge Material

Didn't some of the older Dodge commercials ask viewers "Are you Dodge Material"?

Chris,
I believe you are right. Dodge also had an ad campaign in the mid 60's touting the Dodge Rebellion. I wanted to call our old wagon "Dodge Rebellion" because I always thought Bob's cars were cool, but Zac,being a youngster, didn't think it was as cool and he drove the wagon.
Bob Marshall has been around forever. He would run almost anywhere there was money to be had.I remember watching him in a final round bracket race at Columbus back in the late 70's against a 16 second Comet for $1000 with his big Hemi. Big money back then.
Craig is a chip off the old block too. They love to play mind games with the competition and that makes them that much more enjoyable to watch and compete against. Just ask Beard.
Also to note is the paint scemes on the Dodge Material cars are timeless. They have not changed since I can remember, but never look outdated. That in itself is quite rare.

Bob Owned (still owns?) a Shell station right off the 70 interstate freeway on the east side of Columbus when I went to High school there. I drove past that station every morning and afternoon going to and from school. I watched him race at National Trails from 1971-up. When I had my Stocker he was always at whatever track we went to for divisionals. That was/is a really nice car and it makes me glad to see him still campaigning it.
