I'm not sure, was it either the first use of rotogravure newspaper color, or the first insert, or something?

We've got to quit saying, "How stupid can you be?" Too many people are taking it as a challenge.

It was the first Car Corp. Ad INSERT to be in ALL major City Sunday Newspapers. I have one from the Los Angeles Times.
As you can see, it is a FULL Line Ad including Mercedes Benz.StudeRich

Actually this 8 page partial color roto catalog was a Sunday supplement within a supplement. It was included within pages of The American Weekly a popular Sunday addition. In all it was circulated to 60 million readers in 40 different major markets. I have copies from the New York Times and The Chicago TribuneRichard Quinn

RICHARD ,
I realise that at the time , this form of advertising was quite unique ,
so did it have any affect on Sales of Cars . I have a 'Chicago' and 'New York'
copy of the advert and they are dated 8th December 1957 . My understanding
is that the 1958 Studebaker Line plus the new Packard Hawk were released on
15th October 1957 and the rest of the Packard line were released on the 11th
January 1958 . It makes me wonder a bit about the 'timing' of the advertisement.
Do you have any thoughts about this . I mean with the new '58 Studebaker's
already on showroom floors for nearly two months ( and probably not selling at
all well ) , was this a desperate bid to increase awareness of Studebaker Packard
products at a time when a lot of industry pundits thought that the Company was
going out of business . I did talk with a Head Salesman of a Dealership at the time
and he said that they had a lot of " FUN " trying to move the Mercedes & Packards.
