1969 Car of the Year Motor Trend

[Dennis H]

Look what these morons put on the cover. A V-Trouble U 412! Or is it a 411. Same garbage. I owned one of these POS’s. Didn’t even put a picture of the Roadrunner on the cover.

It's acceptable to me. Pick up a Playboy or Hustler and the best pictures are on the inside!

There is probably a 4 or 6 page, 4 color VW layout inside. Money over Art.

Got any pics of the actual 69 Runner pages?

 

[Speedbird]

It's a surprise.
Gotta look inside.

Never was a fan of Motor Trend.Even back then in the 60's and 70's too many foreign cars.

Ha Ha...we called it "Motor Tramp"
Stupid "Euro Car" type magazine of the times...

Much like: "Road and Track"

Both RAGs repeatedly LOVED those Euro Cars and contantly snubbed the "Low Brow" American Muscle Car...
They all had adds in them like: Genuine Leather Driving Gloves". etc....

I used to read just about any car rag I could find back then. Rod & Truck, Cart and Drover, Super Shove-it....
