The Dodge Meat-Dragger

 

This was the vehicle that ignited suburban America's love affair with the Pick-Up. 

Alas, it was a love affair that started with a ribbing. Don Draper was a young advertising exec, and as with many corporations, there are some initiation rites / pranks. A long stand, a left-handed frying pan, sky-hook etc.

Don got the "Sell Pick-Ups to Middle Americans" task ... and he nailed it.

Bonus -  Matt Berry and Peter Capaldi read letters between Sultan Mehmed IV and the Zaporozhian Cossacks
