1963 Sales Training Kit

[G B.]

I found an original sales training kit for Chevrolet dealers that was first mailed in October, 1962. This training kit covers the new 1963 Corvette, Impala, Chevy II, and Corvair models. The kit contains two 33-1/3 phonograph records, two film strips, and several small printed hand-outs. It was made by the "Jim Handy Organization" in Detroit.

I will give this kit to any NCRS member who wants it. I have only one request of the receiver. I would like them to make and send me prints of three film strip frames that show the Corvette engine compartment and interior.

Please determine if you can make these prints in your area before requesting that I mail the kit to you. Each film strip contains multiple color negative frames that are about 1" x 3/4" in size. These are not motion picture films. Film strips were used in special projectors that would display the frames on a small screen, one at a time.

Re: 1963 Sales Training Kit

Jerry,

I'm not interested in receiving the kit, but FYI, (as one old enough to remember) film strips were used in early slide projectors, the kind that had a single slide in-and-out mechanism. The film strip was wound from its spool with a knob and passed from top to bottom in front of the lens to a take-up spool. I would suggest that ANY film processor capable of creating colour prints from 35mm slides could do the same from a film strip. They're really the same thing.

Good find and good luck!

I'm mailing the kit to Rick Aleshire on Monday.
