"Climax!" of the Plymouth mystery...

Hey, irishwashguy and badata...

Chrysler Corporation sponsored two shows in the mid-'50s...three out of every four weeks, it was a dramatic anthology called "Climax!" (hence the little witty pun above)...and the fourth week was devoted to a show called "Shower of Stars," which specialized in musical comedies.

The co-hosts were William Lundigan (the dude talkin' about the Plymouth in this spot) and Mary Costa. I remember it chiefly for Art Gilmore's voice-overs at the start of the show: "PLYMOUTH! DODGE! DeSOTO! CHRYSLER! and IMPERIAL! The five great cars of the FORWARD LOOK...from CHRYSLER CORPORATION!" (Good trick for a car nut who was only five years old at the time.)

Art Gilmore, you may recall, was the voice-over announcer for "Highway Patrol" and "The Red Skelton Hour" for many, many years.

Hey, 58limited--you no doubt noticed the '58 Limited convertible in the Buick shots!

BTW, I saw a cool solid white 1958 Pontiac Chieftain 2-door Catalina (hardtop coupe) this morning in Granite City, Illinois...looked like it came from the GM commercial! (Gave the guy who drove it--whom I know personally--a big thumbs-up as I drove past as he parked it at his car restoration shop.)

BTW, I have read the '59 GM line was going to be a rehash of the '58 models, but some people saw early-production models of the new '57 Chrysler products and convinced Harley Earl to comeup with all-new '59's ("all new all over again," to quote a Chevy commercial!)...
