"Suddenly, it's 1960" was the slogan for the all new 1957 Plymouth. However, the 1957 Mopar cars were originally meant to be released for the 1960 model year. The 1957 Plymouths, Dodges, Chryslers, Imperials and Desotos were intended to be 1960 models.
Because of the newly designed cars GM and Ford were about to release for 1957, Chrysler Corporation had to go ahead and release the cars they were saving for 1960 in order to keep up with the competition.
Note the older clothing styles...And the fact Lloyd Fox is smoking a cigarette, which was allowed indoors in public and the in workplace back in the day.

Wow, I didn't know that. Competition always means more advancements in automotive technology in a short time! The model T was supposed to be the only car ford produced until people stopped buying them for newer models by GM if I remember correctly. From then on it was a race to make the best automobile since they came out with a new model every year and anytime a manufacturer would come out with new technology, the other manufacturers would steal it and implement it into their own cars. It was ok tho because they ALL did this lol
About that Model T, I have heard that Henry Ford's CEOs had to convince him to allow the change to producing more advanced cars.
Had Henry insisted on continuing to produce Model Ts, Ford Motor Company would have been only a page in history a long time ago.
The Ford cars and trucks our parents and us grew up with would have never existed.
