Can anyone point out what's wrong with it?

Besides the spelling of Abrams?
(The possesive form of Abram instead of Abrams)

Also should it be 's on Tomorrows? and isn't it today not To-day?

I guess they cut the budget on proofreaders

"Yesterday's products today...and at the prices of tomorrow!"

(and since when is "today" hyphenated?)

I like the extra 'chine gun!

Yeah, you got it - although I hadnt even noticed the "to-day" bit... Yeah, this poster doesnt seem to have gone through much proofreading before it went to the printers. And this isnt the only one, I bought one off Ebay a few months ago.

I had an old 8th grade language arts teacher. She always spelled today as to-day. She was very old school even in 1977-78.

I do remember the poster. My ROTC detachment had one in the student lounge. I remember someone drawing the Chrysler automobile symbol on the front of the tank since they were the original producers of the tank.
