Scope and content
A laughing Mrs. Edith Hild practices the time-honored tradition of testing tires as she kicks the front tire of her 1954 Plymouth Savoy parked at Steven Motor Company, Chrysler and Plymouth dealers, located on South Tacoma Way. The low-mileage sedan was originally purchased from Steven Motor and faithfully maintained there. Mrs. Hild, a retired schoolteacher, was the national winner for the owner of the best 1954 Plymouth. Her Savoy would be given to singer Johnny Cash in exchange for the keys to a 1973 Plymouth. Cash had always admired the '54 Savoy model, a car that he and his brother had owned at the start of Cash's singing career. Photograph ordered by Young & Rubicam, Detroit. (TNT 8-30-72, A-1 article)
