The Chrysler/Plymouth dealers Trouble Shooting contest was a pretty big deal with high school vocational auto programs up until maybe the 90s. As schools started killing of vo/tech programs, dealer sponsorship disappeared.

I was in New Rochelle High School Vocational Auto Shop and in 1969 I was in the Plymouth trouble Shooting contest in N.Y
The Local Chrysler / Plymouth Dealer wanted to hired me after school was over.

I have a lot of them but the 71 that I just sold was a double.
It had some flaking but was still nice.
I have had some as late as 1989
I display the 66-72 ones...good years and only have one of each.
The 70 Trouble shooting contest award is cool as it has a 70 Cuda with the blue background
( gotta get these down and dust off )

Real Nice Terry. I don't know what happened to my 1969 Plymouth trouble shooting stuff. :pullinghair: I still have some awards from the old days when I worked at Chrysler/ Plymouth & Dodge Dealers.
