Scope and content
Mrs. Edith Hild sits at the wheel of her 1954 Plymouth Savoy parked at Steven Motor Company, Chrysler and Plymouth dealers on August 17, 1972. Steven's manager Pete Lisicich notes the very low mileage (14226) for the 18-year-old car. The Hild family drove the car less than 15.5 miles per week. Despite the fact the car only traveled about 1000 miles a year, the family brought it in to Steven Motor every fall for complete inspection and maintenance service. The low miles and pristine condition made Mrs. Hild's Savoy the top choice in a national search for the best 1954 Plymouth to be presented to singer Johnny Cash. He had once owned this same model when he first began singing. Mrs. Hild received the keys to a new 1973 Plymouth in exchange for her car. Photograph ordered by Young & Rubicam, Detroit.
