Re: [Chrysler300] Famous letter Cars

[Ray Jones <hurst300@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

If you look at the credits for most of those old movies you'll find a 
line that says "Automobiles Provided by Chrysler Corp."
This was among the earliest product placements, and Chrysler did a good 
job of blanketing the industry.

I have read somewhere that GM and Ford had a hard time getting their 
cars  in the movies as Chrysler seemed to have most studios sewed up.

Now stop looking at old movies and get something done!
