I think I've asked this before, but I don't recall getting a definitive answer and I couldn't find the thread.
Sometime in the early 80s, when the Rabbit started getting big, there was a TV ad featuring a Rabbit as a police car. Memory says that it was in North Carolina, and I had read that the idea was based on a real department that had adopted Rabbits to save money on fuel. But I digress...
In the TV ad, the Rabbit chases and pulls over a musclecar, which I'm pretty sure was a AAR. I seem to recall the strobe stripe being featured prominently as the driver said "A Volkswagen Rabbit?" as if he's just seen a UFO.
Flash forward. I also remember there being a print ad to go along with the campaign. A friend found a copy and got it for me. But I could swear that it looks like a Challenger in the print ad.
Anybody else remember the TV ad? Was it a Cuda in the TV version? And is this a Challenger?
