It’s always good to have talented readers. An email from Alex Smith made its way into my in-box the other day:
I’ve been following your Mad Men episode recaps/photo gallery posts all season and have really enjoyed them so I thought I would share something with you.
As
you briefly noted this week, there was a potentially huge teaser on
Episode 6 of Mad Men that revealed the new account they’ve landed for
Chevy’s “secret” new car which is identified as the XP-887. I quickly
Googled “XP-887” and found out it is actually the notorious Chevy Vega.
Seems like a pretty huge development since it is their biggest account
(ever maybe) and the Vega turns out to be a total lemon/bomb.My
friends and I did some quick photoshopping to a (public domain) Chevy
Vega ad from the 70’s, added the cast of the show, and changed the copy
to match the developing story line. Since you’re into Mad Men as well, I
wanted to share the finished product with you.
The image is posted with even more information at Cantmisstv. I’m not sure, however, that it’s a good idea to let Stan Rizzo drive:
