It would appear there were some pretty harsh critics back then. I say, they just didn't know how to appreciate someone's attempt at making a car ad. It was a fantastic attempt. But hopefully critics aren't so harsh these days...right?
Really though, it's not bad. It could just use improvement. Look at older car ads to get an idea. Crop out the Moonhawk and have a white background with text like this: Or something like this:
Great find on those ads, if I get some time I may try my hand at one Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk - now Free
A real ad wouldnt advertise a 70's car in the 80's or 90's as your ad seems to imply the current date is.
Try harder pls Mine's far from perfect but I don't see many people doing much more than slapping hard-to-read text on in MSPaint.
It makes zero sense if you have a new car ad, for a brand new 1977 Moonhawk, but then advertise a show that didn't come out for another 10 years.
