The following titles are for educational filmstrips and records that Chrysler Corporation and the Ross Roy corporation made as training tools to help car salespeople do a better job of selling Plymouths, Chryslers, Dodges, Imperials and DeSotos.
This series of educational materials started in January, 1949 for Chrysler and Plymouth.
The films give tips on being a better salesperson, how to explain the ways that Chrysler's cars are better than the competition's, and anything else that could help. Many of them are unintentionally funny, such as when the folks shown in the all-options, wide-whitewall-tire Plymouth are beaming with undisguised delight, while their friends in the strippo, blackwall Chevrolet look like they just swallowed a bug.
