Chrysler Offers 7 Engineering Differences for 1973

Solid-state electronics were getting sufficiently cheap and reliable by the middle 1970s that Detroit began installing electronic ignitions in even the more affordable cars they built. Chrysler Corporation was putting such systems in its American-built vehicles for 1973, and this magazine advertisement tacks on another batch of somewhat less innovative engineering feats to that brag.
