DODGE - The car of choice for people who just hate driving on paved roads.

In later years, I know they broke at least one Dodge Charger per episode of the Dukes of Hazzard. I wonder how many cars they trashed making this 1942 commercial. Or maybe they just built them better back then?

Well the car that jumped the parked cars certainly wasn't the one that Jimmy rolled at the end.  It was totalled in that jump.  It seems Jimmy and company are b.s.'ers.  Lol.

Impressive for the time. Classic newsreel voice and production techniques. Thanks JK.

I agree with Jack that the car that jumped the eight cars was totaled.
