I am wondering how many people on the forum have items relating to their car. I am referring to such things as newspaper and magazine ads, dealer brochures, promotional items, etc. I have a collection of some of these things. Here is one I have to believe is pretty rare. My car was assembled at the Lynch Road plant. Here is a keyholder awarded for good housekeeping at the Lynch Road plant. Also included is a Raynal Brothers keychain with the outdated telephone number using two letters. The green DAV mini plate matches my front license plate, and the other one matches my rear plate. I have another 1968 plate matching the one on the front of the car, but I didn’t put it on the rear because in Michigan if you do that you are strictly limited as to when you are legally allowed to drive your car.
That is great Mike. I also have collected over the years Key fobs bumper dealer decals from my R/T dealership. And ads from there. Also spoke with Cecil Pottmeyer that sold my car new.
Fun stuff .

Good old days when you bought flints and lighter fluid and used same made in USA lighter over and over.

That is true, however, giving away cigarette lighters today Would probably not be a good idea for a couple reasons. First off, giving away a lighter would probably be looked at today as an endorsement or a facilitation of an unhealthy habit. And secondly, with so many fewer people smoking cigarettes today compared to that era, A lot of the people receiving one would have no use for it
If you had gone to a Dodge dealership in 1968, there would have been three brochures discussing coronets. The first brochure contained the entire 1968 dodge lineup. I have included the paint colors. The color I chose for my car is in the bottom left-hand corner.
The second brochure was for coronets only.
The third brochure was for the three dodge scat pack cars.
Since these brochures were available at the beginning of the 1968 sales year, that explains why the super bee is not shown in any of the brochures, as it was a midyear entry.
