Interesting how the old ads focused on detailed / tangible features in the body copy...a bit different than today, eh?

If a 70's Explorer will stand up to that, what will a modern SubC take that is rated at 1000ft?

Their old ads were great. Not much fancy ad wording like is used nowadays. It was just plain English and to the point. We won't get started on the prices! haha
