Chrysler Turbine Research Project Perpetual Calendar, 1962

Artifact Overview

Promotional giveaways can place advertising messages deeper into people's lives than billboards or magazine ads. The power of branding -- coupled with consumer brand loyalty -- has also led to the creation of promotional items designed for sale to the public. Some giveaway's usefulness outlived the product. This perpetual calendar gave dates to 1989, long after Chrysler's Turbine experiment ended.
