1938 Plymouth Roadking and De Luxe


1930's does 1950's in this ad for the 1939 Plymouth Roadking and De Luxe sedans. My only problem is that the front end of the sedan seems to be hovering above the driveway. Then again, maybe it's one of those low riders bouncing on its hydraulics. A 15% reduction in steering force...that's your selling point?

The Major Bowes Amateur Hour was a radio talent show that aired on NBC Radio between 1934 and 1952. Bowes managed New York's Capital Theater, though he never was a major, and his use of a gong on the show is said to have been an influence on The Gong Show. Here's a sample of the Major's show taken from the same year as our Plymouth ad.
