1945 Plymouth Christmas ad

[Captain Neon]

In 1945, Plymouth did a print ad at Christmas-time that had a happy couple (presumably husband back from the war) looking out their window next to their Christmas tree at the freshly shoveled driveway (presumably just completed by husband) with a sign on garage door in big red letters stating, "Reserved for Our New Plymouth."

There is an other ad, that was the follow-up with same driveway with new P-15 in driveway. Caption stated, "How right we were to wait for a Plymouth!" Does any body have a high-quality scan they would care to share? If the price is not outrageous, would like to purchase said ad to display in our home @ Christmas, otherwise the scan alone would be much appreciated.

I do have the "How right we were to wait for a Plymouth!" ad in perfect condition. I would gladly share a scan of the ad, or....

how much are you willing to donate to the forum if I send it to you?

[Captain Neon]

I've got the whole rest of the series coming my way soon, they've been in storage in Minnesota since I was a teenager. When they finally arrive, and my scanner is big enough, I'll scan the whole lot for everyone's enjoyment, but I would be willing to donate $30. I'm not sure if Kinko's will scan an old advertisment like that due to copyright issues so I don't want to make a promise I may not be able to keep.

I have both full page ads, I can send them to you, you scan them, then send them back to me. PM me with your mailing address if you would like to go this route

I can't speak for GT, the moderator of this site, but it would be great if we had a link for old Mopar ads. I have a number of ads that I could share, and I would love to see some of the other advertisements. Really a trip back in time.

Robin,

Thanks for sharing, I have the three left to right, now I'll have to locate the one on the far right

[Ernie Baily]

About 2 years ago I used the one on the left as the basis for my Xmas Card. I had a buddy photshop my family and car into the ad and put Santa behind the wheel like he was going use it instead of his sleigh. My whole family really loved it.

Ernie,

Can you post of copy of the Christmas card?

Thanks Ernie

Very cool Christmas card, Ernie!!!

Wish I could do somethign similar. I don't have Photoshop.

It's kind of interesting: back then when they spoke of a 1 car garage that's all you got. I have what's called a 2 car garage and I can only get one car in it.

I have some ads I got a while ago - if I can figure out how to copy them I will post them.

Thanks for arranging them. They make for a cute story. It also makes you realize that they really were new cars and highly sought after once upon a time.
