frank, his name is gary siler, here is his email to me today.
Chris, I wanted to add that I misspoke concerning the addressee on the box. It wasn't a dealership, but a Chrysler-Dodge facility in Fullerton that is now occupied by an unrelated company. An employee at that company I talked with said it had been a "Chrysler assembly plant", but I find no other information to support that. An EPA report I believe was from 1980 describes the facility as Chrysler's "Fullerton Parts Depot". I know there was a Los Angeles assembly plant that closed in 1971, but I don't know if was at this location. There's also a Los Angeles Parts Depot in nearby Ontario (California). The discs were presumably shipped to Mr. King at Fullerton. As for the background on where they've been since, I don't have that info yet, but will pass along anything I find out.
Gary

ok,i had to ask the irony was too much to ignore if you look at his ad, he claims he could put "anything you want" on the discs. so i would be very skeptical of anything that is out of the norm on any promo discs being passed off as real http://a12mopar.com/yabb/YaBB.pl?num=1236455888

Hi Jim...No carlisle for me. The chemo has done its anticipated damage so going to a show is out of the question for 2009. Too bad as with this new balding grey skin night of the livivng dead look i now have i could have finally snuck by and bought some stuff w/o guys sniffing around me trying to figure out what it is and why i bought it! Hopefully 2010 will be better...sure cant be worse! I'll take the hug in spirit old friend. Thanks!!!all the best! steven

You are going to beat the MF-er Steve. I am not an overly religious person but since the loss of my father I can tell you, you (among others) have been in my prayers.....And I'm not just saying that to help sell little books!
We will see you out there soon....get better. Jim B

just got an email from gary again, i believe this guy is telling the truth. i also believe these pieces were for real and are original. i am remembering back in 69, i recall seeing a set at a dodge dealership. they look very familiar. i just got another email and this is what Gary is saying. ToylD is now saying the dodge boys promo discs didnt have the notches. im wondering why the RR ones had the notches but the dodge ones didnt?
heres the email i got today.
Chris, I finally got a chance to speak with the former owner today. First off, I wanted to say that I did read the subsequent posts on Moparts. The reason I originally contacted you was because your Website was linked and that provided an email contact. Otherwise, I don't see everyone's contact info. I'm now familiar with Steven Juliano's site and collection - very impressive. I'm thinking if he's never seen these or even heard of them, they likely never saw the streets. That doesn't mean they're not authenic, though. The previous owner is a guy in LA about my age (50-ish) who came across as very honest and straightforward. We talked for over an hour and he said those discs were given to him by the service manager at Glendale Dodge around '86-'87. They were clearing out old stock and miscellaneous items that had been gathering dust for years. His home address, the original Fullerton ship-to address, and the Glendale dealership are all right there in the LA area. I know it's not hard proof, but it sure is interesting. I'm told Mopar Collectors Guide has a photo they think might show a car with these discs installed, but it's motion-blurred and they're trying to enhance it. Maybe someone will eventually come forward with more info. The guy who mentioned 'carbon dating' might be on to something. I just hope any Mopar enthusiasts who see the posts will scour their memories, photos, back issues, etc. By the way, the paper they were packaged in was darkened around the edges and at the center holes, matching the discs exactly. I'm attaching a picture of a lighted Chrysler sign the previous owner said he also acquired from a dealership years back. Probably not that unusual, but since he sent it I figured I'd pass it along.
Gary

The runner disks being multiple colors would need a way to keep it properly oriented for each color pass. The dodge disk being only one color wouldn't need that.
I can't afford this.
