plymouthcranbrook Posted September 22, 2020 Report Share Posted September 22, 2020 (edited) https://www.worthpoint.com/worthopedia/vintage-gold-chrysler-award-tool-1-2-inch-torque https://board.moparts.org/ubbthreads/ubbthreads.php/topics/58648/1.html http://www.moparchat.com/forums/vintage-mopar-chat/96928-vintage-mopar-gold-tools-value.html In the 1960s, color filmstrips supplanted black and white, and larger-format reference books were used. The Gold Tool Award (with gold-anodized tools not really meant to be used) was launched in 1962. Chrysler field personnel took an active role in meeetings as change continued unabated: unit-body construction, PCV systems, the Slant Six and Valiant, and more.

Dodgeb4ya Posted September 22, 2020 Report Share Posted September 22, 2020 A ton of technician awards were given to techs back in the day. The gold ones came out in the 60's. Wish they were real gold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knuckleharley Posted September 22, 2020 Report Share Posted September 22, 2020 (edited) I'm really surprised about it starting in 1962. The guy in the service dept uniform practically shouts "1950's" to me. Edited September 22, 2020 by knuckleharley Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boody Posted September 22, 2020 Report Share Posted September 22, 2020 My father was a Chrysler mechanic 60s to 1980s think I have a couple of ratchets also ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank Elder Posted September 23, 2020 Report Share Posted September 23, 2020 Those Proto sockets and ratchets are high-quality stuff just not as well-known to backyard mechanics as to professionals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
