It is also interesting how common products are advertised in different countries. Ford products are one example, as I used to watch some Spanish language novellas and marvel at the differences between them and our USA "Soap Operas". In one version of F-150 ads, several years of them, you see...

Normally, whomever was the contracted ad agency was not known to anyone outside of the corporation. Ross Roy was who did the dealer training videos, though. For specific sales brochures, to purchase, there are automotive literature vendors for that. Sometimes, www.eatondetroitspring.com has...

Head over to YouTube for the videos and Google for the print ads. There are several YT channels with car tv commercials from the 1950s-1970s. Not just a long rabbit hole to go down, an "Elephant-size" hole. Many of the 1955-1958 era ads were longer than one minute and more like Broadway...

I respectfully suspect that the main ad agencies any OEM might contract with are based in the New York City area with branches in or near Detroit. Which might mean "Broadway" rather than "Hollyweird".

There used to be a guy in Michigan, retired from AC Spark Plug (who built GM's speedo cables back then) that went into business building correct repro speedo cables for almost anything. Not sure if he is still alive or the company is still alive, either. IF the speedo head is now free-turning...

Looks like what's on my '67 Newport buddy seat armrest. So it probably was used from '65-'68, at least.

In one respect, methinks many might be reading something into these ads that was not intended at the time they were published. Different sensitivities for different times. FWIW Vehicles oriented more toward the "youth market" of the earlier 1960s usually had such people in the background...

Might the younger women be the grand-daughers of the females that are no longer alive? The younger ladies know full well of the legacy the Imperial (of their grand-father) will be their's to enjoy in a few years. Hence the serious looks. Those Imperials handled better than the Lincolns...

Not sure if Kevin got the his 543 stroker 440 put into it yet. Posts from his machine shop Facebook page detail the build and such. CBODY67

One way to identify the leaks is by the color and smell of the fluid. Motor oil, atf, and coolant are easy, due to coloration and such, plus where under the car they appear (drops on the pavement/ground. 1972 model year? Are the leaks under the rh floor mat? Here's what I found out on my '70...

What about "Flower Power" or "Paisley"?

You might check the Color and Trim Guides for Imperials in the Library section at www.hamtramck-historical.com for vinyl roof "swatch" images. CBODY67

Seems like his Facebook post mentioned something about generating money for other car projects?

I saw the video posted to a Chrysler Facebook group today. Didn't watch it. CBODY67

What I see is one using the body sheet metal, but I also suspect the other one is using the chassis design, which I suspect should go from '57 - '66 model years, or possibly with some changes in model year 1962. One probably is the "builder" and the other one is the "re-seller" (who didn't get...

That may have been accurate, considering the Premium orientation of Imperial in the Chrysler brands. Back then, my primary focus was on the performance cars from Chrysler, although I was mainly oriented toward "Chrysler" too. Chrysler seemed to be doing a "staged roll-out" of the EI systems...

Electronic ignition was an option on 1972 2bbl cars and some normal 4bbl cars. Our '72 Newport Royal 400 2bbl was a late-built car with the then-optional factory electronic ignition. Another car sitting beside it on the new car lot had points. Seems that that late in the ;72 model year, EI...

An interesting retention method that works.

Might look around near the pushbuttom mechanism, then.
