Scope and content
On August 17, 1972, Mrs. Edith Hild was shown cleaning the windshield of her 1954 Plymouth Savoy at Steven Motor Company, Chrysler and Plymouth dealers. The car was originally purchased from Steven Motor. The 77-year-old retired schoolteacher's vehicle was presented to singer Johnny Cash in late August after a national search for this model, a duplicate of the car that Cash stated was "the best car I ever owned." Mrs. Hild would have her picture taken with Cash at the Indiana State Fair and receive the keys to a new 1973 Plymouth. Photograph ordered by Young & Rubicam, Detroit.
