Title: Plymouth dealer magazine
Post by: Bill Davis on September 22, 2017, 12:37:20 AM
Hello All,
I have known for years (probably 50 or 60) that Ford Motor Company produced a (monthly ?) magazine
to send to customers who purchased a new Ford product.  On the back page, there may have been a
place for the dealer's name and other dealer information.  The magazine was called the Ford Times.

Now, just today (I know -- you are going to say:  "Where have you been - under a rock?") I found out
that the Dodge Division had a similar magazine for its customers, known as the Dodge News.
It seems that this Dodge magazine first appeared in the late 1930's.

So, the question is:  Did the Plymouth Division print a magazine for customers who purchased new
Plymouth vehicles ?

Bill, from what I can find out, the name of the Magazine was "Plymouth Traveler" but not sure of the dates it was published.  Hoping to get a phone call later this evening with that information

I googled the magazine, it was published during the 1960's and '70's

Hope this helps

There was a Chrysler Chronicle, a one off hardback published in 1994 400 pages, I understand that it doesn't answer your question but hope it helps .
