I don’t know about you, but having the hero image being an action shot from THE race the model is named after is icing on the cake.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThen there’s the thumbnail pic inset into the copy - a proud, personal photo of winning driver, Benny Parsons. This human touch to the ad not only introduces you to a brand ambassador of sorts, but also reinforces the heritage of the Daytona - part of its legacy being that it was awarded to drivers. Of course, if you finished second place or couldn’t drive a stick, you could still get a Daytona from your local jeweler. How cool is it that the list price in this ad happens to be $500 ;)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOnly a handful of full-page Daytona advertisements exist that solely feature a stainless steel model.
