1987 Commercial: Regal Dodge "Regal Ram Vans"

[19psi]

Ads like these were borderline scams. Brag about the inexpensive options such as painted bumpers, snack tray and hubcaps. The only vans available at the dealer also had the OPTIONAL automatic transmission, power steering, power brakes, air conditioning, power windows/locks etc. Add destination, doc and hidden fees and the price jumps from $11988 to $20000.

Of course they could order the stripped down version and you'd have a miserable to drive stick shift cargo van with a conversion interior.

@19psi i would actually buy the stripped down version with stick shift becouse i dont like automatics and i can paint my own fuckin bumper.

Granted, back then $12k was more like $29k today .. But you weren't buying a plastic piece of crap in those days at that price ..

[MyChannelSucks73]

@MyChannelSucks73 .. and you got a "custom paint white bumper" and free snack tray .. FTW ..
