Looks like early to mid 1980s

The 5/50 ended in '87 (I think).  Judging from the font, It has a '70's vibe to it.

Research tells me it did end in 87 and they went to 7/70. I'm told the 5/50 sign could be 60s but I thought it looked a lot newer. Maybe it is 70s.

The program started in the mid 60's. 1966 I believe. Except Hemi cars which got a 12 month/12,000 mile warranty for the original buyer.  Nice sign.

No copyright (usually in very small letters) on it anywhere Murray?

 I thought for sure the 5 year 50,000 mile warranty ended after the 1970 model year. It was re introduced much later. At least that's how it was in Canada.

Good point, Best I can remember Dad's new '74 Monaco had a 12 month 12000 mile warranty.
Here is an article telling of the new warranty for '75 for 12 month unlimited miles

another article from 1982 touting the 5/50 warranty

Yeah... I was thinking early 80's  Nobody had mega warranty's in the 70's that I can recall. I can remember my dad looking at a used Plymouth w 60k.... no sale . He said to many miles.
