This was in my October 2010 Mopar Muscle magazine. I wish I could find a poster like this. Maybe I will go the the Dealership here in town and see if I can get one.

I think all the Dodge dealerships got them in about 3 or 4 weeks ago.  You have to ask for it.  I have one hanging in my garage and gave two to a couple of friends.

Well apparently my dealership has not seen them. I stood in line at the parts counter for 15 min while 6 Guys did nothing. Well one guy was helping a lady, then he waited on me. When I asked if I could get one They all looked at the magazine ad and said that they had not seen them and did not know how I could get one. Pretty much the same experience I have everytime I go to the dealership here in town. :brickwall: So anyone know of a website where I can get one?

Well, my local dealer doesn't have any either, but I can shed a bit of light on where the ad comes from.  It's a still from a recent tv commercial for the challenger.  It was played first during the World Cup soccer match ebtween the US and England.

It starts with a British soldier from that time period running scared through the woods and telling his commander that something is chasing him.  The british soldiers take aim, them not one but 3 black challengers come flying down the hill at them, one being drivn by George Washington, and with the colonial soldiers charging in behind them.

The British soldiers panick and start running away.  The voice-over says, that's a couple things America got right, cars and freedom.


I thought it was great, and laugh every time they play it on tv.

I'd love to get a poster of that too.  I saw another version that says in handwriting at the bottom, "because you can't buy a bald eagle!".

I'm sure there's an LX or Chally make that a "NeoChally" specific website that would most likely be well aware of the ads..
or Someone here like DS440 or Sixpack from the photoshop page could make one up,.. possibly.. I love that "Cause you can't buy an Eagle" tag line... That's great.
BTW:  I heard a story recently about a friend who had a stuffed eagle in their memorabilia collection of mostly sports stuff, advertising inadvertently showed the stuffed eagle in the background,..
and the guy got some interest in the item, so one day the supposed buyer shows for a look around and shortly thereafter the FBI broke down the door and sized his entire collection - and all because of the Taxied Eagle..   :yesnod:

They are cool posters.  There were a few guys in the swapmeet at the Nats selling them but I hate paying big bucks for current promotional items.  A small fee perhaps but let's not get carried away.

The vendor across from the folks selling beer koozies and decals was selling those posters.    I bought some beer koozies but not the posters   :slap:

Not a surprise, it's illegal to even own a eagle feather unless your are a native american.

Now watch what you say or they'll be calling you a radical,
      a liberal, oh fanatical, criminal.
Won't you sign up your name, we'd like to feel you're
      acceptable, respectable, oh presentable, a vegetable!

Technically shouldn't the British have been driving the Challengers? I thought they were all made up here in Canada?
