In 1969 Plymouth had wheel covers on some road runners at the dealership. They were white flat metal or wood with the road runner logo on the side. Does any one reproduce them? Where could I get a set?

Thanks.

Joe

They were a cardboard ad gimic and thrown away after the sales event. As far as I know they were never reproduced.

dodg dealerships as well as plymouth dealerships had these promo discs for the A12 cars on their showroom floor. they were only made on thin stamped metal.
they were reproduced a hile back. i think someone is doing them now.they are around $400.00 reproduced. originals are high priced.

that was real helpful wasn't it Lla. When I worked at the dealership in the 60s they used a lot of cardborad wheel covers as ads. I guess I was wrong about these particular discs. Excuse me.

They were reproduced for a while but I don't think they are now.
