    You Can Tell A Man From Texas: 1957 Dodge Texan

    Since I'm heading out to Houston this weekend to bust cheaters at the 24 Hours Of LeMons, this ad for the '57 Dodge Texan seems like just the thing today. Imagine having both a Texan and a La Femme in your garage; you could even combine the two and have a totally bewildering automotive mashup. Why don't the car companies have state-specific models these days? The Toyota North Dakotan! The Saab Nevadan!
