I know the history of the Plymouth Roadrunner and their strategic marketing ploy back in the day...This is what I "don't understand" 696, inquiring into "whore out to Lessor models"...........not as later stated, "other cars that did not carry the roadrunner name". Owning both a 69' Roadrunner and 68' Dodge Coronet 500 conv., I wouldn't consider one "lessor" than the other, and i'm sure there is a bunch other Coronet or other "lessor" model owners that look at it the same. All in all, i'm sure you could have word that a bit more delicately.
Like I said, I went over and over your statement "lessor models", but the way i'm looking at it, you might as well of typed in "inferior", or "sub par". Maybe you meant "lessor" as in, not such as an aggressive marketing platform?? As in not as much advertising priority type vehicle?????? Who knows? I'm not one to squabble over words typed that can be interpreted 10 different ways so, I know i'm not going to waste anymore time talking about it..........Is what it is.......
