niteowl7710 Posted August 30, 2022 Share Posted August 30, 2022 It occurs to me the box art says "1971 Chrysler Plymouth"...I wonder if that's a typo, or a licensing issue with the whole "Roadrunner" name. This kit wouldn't need the cartoon logos that seem to always be the sticking point... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only time I remember hearing the phrase "Chrysler-Plymouth" was in Commercials back in the day. Never hear it otherwise. I too, was both puzzled and taken aback by the box art call out.

keyser Posted September 1, 2022 Share Posted September 1, 2022 I’m sure a Stellantis attorney had input. Current live brand present with dead brand. How it goes. At least it’s not a Stellantis-Plymouth. 🤦🏻♂️ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tabbysdaddy Posted September 1, 2022 Share Posted September 1, 2022 I remember at least one dealer around here was "Dodge Chrysler Plymouth." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1972coronet Posted September 1, 2022 Share Posted September 1, 2022 At one time, there were Chrysler-Plymouth , Imperial (standalone), and Valiant (1960-1962, sold through their own dealerships. No Plymouth nameplates to be found). By c.1970, there were Chrysler-Plymouth-Imperial , and sometimes Valiant (artifact of the 1963 model year). In the U.S. at least, Dodge was its own entity. Canada had Dodge-Fargo, IIRC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fat Brian Posted September 1, 2022 Share Posted September 1, 2022 My little town had a Chrysler, Plymouth, Dodge, Jeep, and Eagle dealership. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Hall Posted September 1, 2022 Share Posted September 1, 2022 And in recent years they have consolidated..the dealer in Phoenix I bought my current Jeep at is a Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram franchise, while my local one here in Cleveland bills itself as Chrysler Ram Jeep Dodge store.

Here in my neck of the woods many one brand dealers are bought by big auto stores which sell many different brands. the typical town dealership and many brands have gone the way of the Dodo, the love of the automobile has faded too, I think Rob, guys of our generation are one of the last who appreciate this once great invention.

maxwell48098 Posted September 3, 2022 Share Posted September 3, 2022 Going back to the '70's when I was a service and parts district manager for Chrysler Corp, my rural districts had Chrysler-Plymouth dealers. Dodge-Dodge Truck dealers and Chrysler=Plymouth -Dodge Truck dealers. But sprinkled in there for interest were Chrysler-Plymouth-Dodge-Dodge Truck full line dealers. Then there were the hold overs who originally signed up decades earlier who were Plymouth only, Chrysler only, Dodge car only, and Dodge Truck Once upon a time, Chrysler-Imperial were their own franchises until Imperial was added as a line under the Chrysler brand.Chrysler also had the DeSoto brand franchise which went away in 1961 that was usually combined with Plymouth, or Chrysler-Imperial, or Dodge Truck. Pretty confusing by today's standards, but then again I had dealers who were very small and only sold 20-30 new vehicles a year, but twice as many used vehicles. Their low overhead, combined with profitable service and parts operations, made them feasible until the late '70's. Once upon a time, a dealer would sign up as a franchisee for life, and some of them hung in there right up until they left this earth, or just decided to close up on their own. These small, family owned, operations were the best ones that I called on. A.J. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
