Screw the car,i'd give Ethel abig bore!

"big enough to take it" wink wink

You don't see Ethel posing in a swimsuit.

[sound of can of worms being re-opened]

@Al Navarro: Of course, as old as this ad is, she probably looks more like the actress playing her mother by now....

[worms being poured from can and strewn about]

Oh that is just crazy. It needs a least a 340.

Can we all just take a moment to appreciate the spectacle of the salesman calling her "Mama"? And the odd combination of corn-pone down on the farm iconography with her Yiddishe Mama schtick? ("An engineer I've got, a son in law I need!" Oy Gevalt!)

That is the most beastly sounding 198 Slant six I've ever heard.
Maybe it's the sound of a baby dragon molesting the leaning tower of power under the hood.

@anaxomander: So they're looking for a JAP car?

In 2008, Mr Kitchner would try to sell her a Hemi powered Durango because she needs the off-road capability for those dirt roads and corn field maneuvers.

I've got a Slant Six for Ethel!

/cro-magnon.

I'm sure she's a very lovely girl with fine taste in automobiles.

Ethel will take hers 4 on the floor please.

I've got an Aunt Ethel, this chick just doesn't look like an Ethel. Digging those boots.

"Mama" bears an uncanny resemblance to Edward G. Robinson.

Anyhoo, Ethel is teh hawt.

Stepford Wives just love torsion bar suspensions with lateral control arms.

Unfortunately Ethel is the #2 in the "Children of the Corn" family and wants the Duster to chase down "outsiders" and dump bodies at the edge of Corntown.

I'm confused: she likes the 3.4 inch bore but also that it's small enough for tight little places...Oh wait, I think I get it...

that blonde's got an A-Body....OOOHHHHH!!!

"You want regular or Ethel?"

I'll take Ethel if she's workin'

Ethel reminds me of Dyan Cannon,except she's even hotter!!

I NEED SOME INFO ON THIS VID PLEASE.

I swear this is the old Lakeview Chrylser Plymouth in Monroe, MI.
It is now known as Monroe Dodge Chrysler Jeep or the "Monroe Superstore". I spent over a decade in that building, and swear that is it.

"It runs on Ethel..."

All previous remarks were pretty pithy... kudos to all who participated!

I so want to take a test drive through a cornfield now.

I want a Duster. And an Ethel.

Although this ad ain't got nuthin' on the awesome sexist-ness of the ad for the '70 Charger.

Why is the notion of an E85-compatible hot rodded Slant Six suddenly dancing in my head?

*smacks self*

(AP - 4/23/08) Police are investigating the rusted remains of a 1970 Plymouth Duster containing three skeletons that was found in a local field by a nearby resident. The skeletons are believed by medical examiners to be of a man and an older woman. Both appeared to have been passengers in the car, and there was no trace of the driver of the vehicle. The bones of the deceased exhibited what police termed "teeth and knife marks". The police are questioning a nearby elderly woman known to local residents only as "Crazy Ethel" and the possibility of murder and cannibalism has not been ruled out...

I like me a girl who can appreciate proper steel girders. . .id totally do her.

i thought she gonna hit that tree!!!

Ethel, call me. Even now; seriously.

I'd let Ethel play with my torsion bars and lateral control arm...

And when I say "torsion bars," I mean "balls." And when I say "lateral control arm," I mean "penis."

And hey, how did the Leaning Tower of Power stand up to Ethel's abuse with only four main bearings?

So it was the new for 70 "Crop Duster" in corn cob yellow. Had a 71 even with the 318 it was pretty quick.

@Galaxie500: "Crop Duster".. very nice. would've fit right in, too, next to the Gold Duster, Space Duster etc... I wonder how the "Twister" package sold in the midwest?

You see that! THAT'S why I get all the chicks... it's my Duster, man. My Space Duster...

Chrysler had a good sense of humor letting Mom refer to the car as a Dustpan!
