Guys, while taking a break today from getting my 57 Nash ready to sell I popped in a tape of a tv special aired in late 1957 telling a story of a department store Santa giving away toys thus cutting profits etc. I collect American Flyer trains (50+ years) and it showed a dept store layout. The sponsor was Plymouth and they were pushing a contest called "Money Ahead". you had to unscramble letters to form a word and could win $500 a month for a lifetime! Other prizes were two new FWLK Plymouths and some lesser prizes. Great ads showing a 58 Fury hardtop in the showroom and on the road. Still no FWLK car in garage, maybe if the Nash sells!!!
