Title: Chevrolet promo key chain for Camaro
Post by: Jon Mello on December 21, 2018, 05:21:27 PM: Here's a Chevrolet promotional item for the '67 Camaro and a letter from Chevrolet describing what it's about. I've seen them on ebay quite a few times but the letter from Chevrolet is a nice item that completes the story. Thanks to Dan Retting and also Mike Gibbons for sharing this with us.

Now they use robo calls and junk email.

After a conversation with a Supv at work, he indicated he bought a 67' new in the navy when stationed in California San Francisco Naval Station. He dug it out and gave me the medallion and reminisced how fast the 67 ss350 was backin the day & troubles a young sailor could get into around the streets of San Fran. Great Fella and went onto Corvettes in his older years, he is long retired and enjoying it.
Also Pictured is WHAT Chevy is handing out. They had a trivia Game while standing next to a pre-production TRAILBLAZER at the Seattle Nov 2018 auto show. I guess it is something for a fancy phone, knob-holder?

Post by: Jon Mello on April 13, 2019, 02:14:46 AM: I was looking through a December 1970 issue of Motorcade magazine and came across the ad below. Sounds like the same promo key chain as above but now possibly being offered by someone other than Chevrolet?

I'd guess someone ended up with a pile of these and invested in an ad.
