I’m going through my ephemera, putting it in plastic sleeves and binders - and came across this “Plymouth Family Fun Contest”. It’s not too late to enter! Just fill out the form below, and don’t forget to include your Postal Zone (for those of you who remember them). Now, complete the jingle:
## \_Plymouth’s nimble, Plymouth’s quick, Plymouth looks and handles slick. I took a “Two-Mile Try-Out” ride \
(Print last line in this space. Make it rhyme with “ride.”)\_
And please, no profanity or sexual innuendo! This is a family website, doncha know.

OK, I’ll go first. How’s this:
_Plymouth’s got it. Now, you decide!_
or this:
_I brought it home. Wife had my hide!_
Or this:
_You know that sleazy salesman lied!_

I thought for sure Gary would have taken the bait, being a PR guy, 'n all. Alright, one more, in the spirit of alliteration:
_Surely shows Satisfaction’s side!_

We were doing great until the engine died.

We’re too late, anyway! From the News-Press in Franklin, PA, June 30, 1959.

And another from the Star-News in Chula Vista dated July 5, 1959.

That’s awesome!! How did you find that, Gary?!?
And she won Matthew’s Fury Junior too.
(Well, is has to be somebody’s now.)

Looks like LBJ awarding the prize. I wonder what the winning lines were? 😒

Googled “Plymouth Jingle Contest 1959” and they both popped right up. Several newspapers are making their archives searchable on line. It’s an expensive, time-consuming process, but it’s an amazing research tool.

These are the COOLEST things I have seen in recent times!!! How amazing to find the articles with the winners of the contests! Hmmm wonder where that 2drHT is now, National City & San Diego is my Sport Fury’s old stomping ground… Boy what I would give to win a brand NEW 59 Sport Fury!

OK - here’s the whole kit and kaboodle that was sent to current Plymouth owners, the only ones who could enter the contest. I’m struggling to produce pdfs that eliminate the whitespace around the pages, but until I figure that out, this will have to do. _[I figured it out - and it’s fixed now. -Dan]_
I’m including here one of two different brochures that were mailed with the packet - I suppose they targeted audiences, but I don’t know for sure. I’ll try to get around to scanning the second brochure soon. The last page of each brochure contains the contest rules that Gary posted earlier - check it out. I wonder how Ms. Gladys Dubois fared. (Not well, I suppose, since I have her entry card.)
Gary, in the absence of further proof, I have to assume that there are still 48 winners that have yet to claim their prize. Unless, of course, you find and post the other 48 winners… An assignment, for the interested student.

Oh, wait! There are 150 runner-up prizes, a Motorola 8 transistor pocket radio! Perhaps I’ll be lucky enough to score one of those… I understand that they are broadcasting the Soviet Luna 1 satellite pings, I want to tune in for that:

You did! A week in my garage, with blanket, pillow and all the cheesesteaks you can eat!

Dan, If that is the prize I am kicking my self for not coming up with a better jingle!!! That sounds like a dang good prize to me! Free cheesecake and 24/7 Faulkner action 🕶😆😛
So when I saw that news paper ad showing the contest winners I instantly recognized the name Mccune and if you have ever cruised up and down the “Mile Of Cars” in National City San Diego you would know it too 😃 the Mile of Cars is the name of the main strip in National City, its a long strip of new and used dealerships at the city center and its THE place to buy a new car in San Diego and home to the largest Chrysler dealership in the South West!
Any way the salesman pictured standing next to the HT is Dick Mccune, he started Mccune Motors in San Diego, a MoPar dealership and was super successful in the early 70’s his son Richard “Tony” Mccune the 2nd took over and the dealership grew to be the largest MoPar dealerships in the south west, but 3 or 4 years ago he retired and Mccune Motors was bought by Perry automotive, Which now owns multiple dealerships across SoCal and most of the dealerships on the MoC. Mccune Motors became Perry Dodge Chrysler Jeep Ram.
I am gonna google some more and see if I cant find some more info on the original Mccune dealership in 59! I am not sure if the current dealership is built on the same spot as the one in 1959. I know for sure the current building is pretty new. Just cool to think I may have drove by where that photo was taken!

I wonder of any of the awarded cars or Juniors still exist? I guess you could try to track down the winner’s that were listed.
