Most of us would agree that the ’73 Subaru DL (aka Leone, in other markets) is a sexy beast, particularly with the early, small chrome bumpers, but the accompanying sultry advertising pitch might leave you gasping with it’s blatantly sexist metaphors:

Ok, if you’re not outraged, you’re probably chuckling, but let’s not be judgmental of an advertisement made up during the hairy chested, Marlboro Man decade.

At the same time, you gotta wonder if more women than men were buying Subarus back then.

Hmm, maybe there’s a companion ad that seduces female car buyers to tame their own hairy-chested Subaru?

"She'll carry you away as she peaks to the redline of her tach"

"relentless power of her 1400cc"

That was gold, I love to see more ads like that today. Good work Mike
