Default ‘70 Burgercuda

Thought this was interesting/creative to say the least… The Hamburglar is driving this thing around and you can scan the QR code they worked into the famed hockey stick stripe to win stuff.

Somebody at McDonald's has to be a car guy. A random marketing team would never land on a 70 Cuda to be their mascots vehicle of choice.

Pretty cool!

Or possibly a car guy wanted to get people into older cars and did a bit of outside the box advertising. Missed opportunity to use a Bandit.

That was my take on it too. It easily could have been some EV, a “modern muscle car”, or even that stupid new Charger EV that makes fake engine noises lol

Inspiring to see someone target more of a true old school muscle car for this promotion. Making just subtle changes and not slamming it to the ground on 22” rims a welcome surprise. QR code is a cool way to draw in kids and adults alike. I hope they promote this mainstream.

'Cudas used to be my dream car when I was younger. Then what happened to 'Cudas along with all the other Mopars, well, happened. Lol And so I fell in love with Trans Ams.
