As Michael C. Hall, the gentleman who plays TV’s Dexter, points out in his voiceover in this spot for Dodge by Wieden + Kennedy in Portland, America got a couple things right: cars and freedom. Seeing George Washington driving a Dodge is pretty impressive, and the Challenger is one helluva car, but we’re not sure it would have the same effect on today’s battlefield.
