Jim Booher Chevrolet
"Cathy Camaro"

Here is an interesting one.  The dealer painted the contest Camaro in psychedelic colors and gave it the name "Cathy Camaro"

"Win 'Cathy Camaro' for 2 full weeks"

"Simply describe the new Camaro in just three words"

"She's a winner!"
"She will be driving Cathy Camaro for two weeks!"
"Mary Ellen says Camaro is OUTASITE, PSYCHEDLIC, FLIRTATIOUS"

Apparently later in the year "Cathy Camaro" was also used by a radio station in Louisville, Kentucky.  The caption for the fourth picture states, "'Wildest mobile unit in the Louisville area is this sports car painted in psychedelic colors used by WSTM-FM, St. Matthews. Program Director John Alexander prepares to take a trip.' (Louisville magazine Broadcasting issue, September 10, 1967)"  Found it here: http://www.lkyradio.com/WRKA.htm
