Chrysler may not have been the sales leader of the muscle car era, but they were certainly the fun leader. We found a great video showing a compilation of Roadrunner ads from 1968-what looks to be 1971. There’s some good Coyote fail footage here to giggle at. Acme products screwed him again.

The world is far too serious a place for any company to have the gusto to run ads campaigns like this anymore, which sucks. We wish we lived during an era that an ad man could belt down a couple martinis on an empty stomach, walk into a board room and pitch the idea of selling cars with cartoon characters.

You’d be jailed for doing that today!
