Sunoco Sunny Dollars Plus Contest

"Wins Camaro!"
"Vietnam veteran...has won a 1968 Camaro playing Sunny Dollars at Fisher's Sunoco Station."

Here is what I was talking about a few posts back.  In an advertisement promoting a contest where one of the ways to win a new Camaro was to spell the name of the car correctly, they actually spell it "Camero!!!"

"Big game winner"
"A 1968 Camero awarded to..."


The third image shows a creative way to try and win a new 1968 Camaro.

"Spell Camaro with Sunny Letters and you win a Camaro by Chevrolet"
"Instant Camaro winners too"


I find it amusing that there was a contest based on spelling the word "Camaro" correctly, since it has been misspelled constantly since the day the car was introduced.  This may be part of the reason they chose to run the contest this way.

Notice the reason the owner placed a classified ad for his 1962 Cadillac in the newspaper: "Reason owner won Camaro, Dino Dollar"

And selling the Caddy for $995! What a score!

Really fun to look at this stuff Scott! Thanks for your time and effort in putting it together!
