some updates
My Dad is a good spotter of Challengers and Thunderbirds. This morning he sent me an email that last night (5/31/08) while watching the Detroit Tigers on TV he saw a sign at the stadium with Challenger. No more info than that. So I went to Tiger TV internet. Pages shows June schedule, today June 1 at Seattle. I scroll back to May, and May 31 is also at Seattle. Back to June 1, game is on at 4;15 Detroit time. It was 4:37. So I put in a video tape, and turn on the game, 3rd inning. Commercial just ends, A Detroit Tiger walks up to plate, Dodge Challenger sign is in background on field wall behind the plate, I flick record. Batter steps out of box, gives better view of sign and picture, Ump calls time, steps away, better still, pitcher pitches a ball, everybody steps away from plate, sign in full view. I click off game to leave for family party.
Game is on TV at family party. I watch a little. The sign must be a revolving or electronic switching sign, I NEVER see Challenger again. How cool is that?
Chicago Tribune 5/18/08 already posted, now I have a back issue, and added to list. 'HOLY Hemi"
How about this....One of my sources sent me a DVD from Chrysler of the Nov 2007 Dealer party and preproduction Challenger form Las Vegas. I had to download some DVD decoder programs to get it to play, it's long.
I recoreded the Motorweek TV broadcast
