Dat duh one Fyssh thank you
I grew up in the Chicago area. In the late 60s early 70s Mr. Norms used to have ads on late night radio, sounded kinda like the loud, pounding dragstrip ads from that time period.
Norm also used to advertise regularly in the car mags, like the ad that's the subject of this post. I have a Jan. 72 copy of Super Stock & Drag Illustrated that has an ad for a supercharged 72 Demon GSS, for $3695. There is also a writeup about the Demon inside and it's on the cover as well.
If you want to see what one of these Demons looks like, go to the car show and event section on here and look at the thread for the MCACN 2017 show, there's a couple pictures of one.
In the 60s early 70s the only music on FM was classical, all the rock was on AM. Chicago had two powerful AM rock stations, WLS and WCFL, the signal reached out hundreds of miles.
One of the Chicago radio DJs once made the comment that if you were shopping for a used car, and the radio push buttons were set for WLS and WCFL that the transmission was probably shot
Lived in Lake Geneva Wi about 100 north of Chicago. WLS and Dick Biondi every night.In the 60s early 70s the only music on FM was classical, all the rock was on AM. Chicago had two powerful AM rock stations, WLS and WCFL, the signal reached out hundreds of miles.

I think the term for that is skip. Not quite sure how it works. Sure someone here can explain it.WLS and WCFL were considered "clear channel" stations which I believe means they were the only one on the frequency they used, so they were allowed a higher wattage. In '73 I went on a trip to Reno from Chicago. We were well into Neb. before we lost the signal from WLS.
The weather does have an effect on how far a signal can go. I think cold and clear will do it, but so will foggy conditions. I can remember two times where it was foggy out, one in Chicago while riding around in a friends 57 Chev and dialing the radio around and came up with a strong signal from Boston.
Another time on a camping trip in Wis. and again came up with Boston on a portable radio. Maybe the Boston station was a clear channel too.
Picked up one of those two one night in Rapid City, S. Dakota on top of a ridge. Clear view, no obstructions to the east. Think it is somewhere around 850 miles.In the 60s early 70s the only music on FM was classical, all the rock was on AM.
