The speed limit then was 55 mph. So I could believe a real 30 mpg maybe, but you never get what they put on those labels anyway, not even these days.
I don't remember the add from back then, but it's cool to see now.

do you know what year commercial that was? Looks like the new bumper style and single headlights....that red truck had the extra bumper pads on the front bumper also.

were those options that were available in the US?

Think the Mighty Mike was a package deal kinda like the Mikado.

4x4, stripes, buckets, etc. And the Mighty Mike decals :)

That bumper was an option, there are a few people here that have them. I use to have one on my truck, still have it somewhere.
