    I have always been a fan of Don Knotts. While perusing Youtube I stumbled on an old promotional video from 1965 with Don Knotts advertising Dodge trucks.
    I loved the line "These are the times that try men's souls".
    It is a long video but entertaining.

    Crispyboy those were absolutely awesome, thanks for posting! Don Knotts is one of my all time favorites, he is perfect in these clips.

    In the 2nd video over his head on the wall is a large version of the triangular emblem Dodge used back then, called the "Fratzog". I always liked that emblem and the "Forward Look" emblems. This link has some background on Fratzog: https://thenewswheel.com/behind-badge-dodge-logo-became-ram-emblem/

    I remember four fratzog emblem cars that were in our family.
    1968 Dodge Monaco station wagon - owned by grandpa and grandma
    1970 Dodge Dart 2 door swinger
    1975 dodge coronet
    1976 Dodge Dart

    Pentastar cars - Grandpa also had a 1977 Plymouth Fury and Grandma had a 1977 Chrysler Newport
