1963 "Check the Champ" promotion - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Does anyone have any information on this sales program from 1963? I have a mention of it in a film slide presentation.

does it have anything to do with that trip they took with the brand new 63's from detroit to baja calif?

There was a large sticker on the doors of the truck . They show a map of the Baja peninsula along with "Check the Champ". 1963 Demonstrator. I've seen the advertisements you write about. Seems this campaign was at the dealerships nationwide. Maybe part of the Chevrolet Communication Kits that were distributed every month promoting sales.

This is the back page of the baja run mailer that was heavily advertised in 1963.

**aerotruk63** · 03-13-2010, 01:19 PM

Does the front page have trucks driving down a rocky road with Check the Champ in red as a header?

**aerotruk63** · 03-15-2010, 06:51 PM

Scan of original mailers to potential Chevrolet customers.

**aerotruk63** · 03-15-2010, 08:28 PM

More mailer advertising!

No, does not Check the Champ on the front. Just shows a ariel view of the convoy on a narrow dirt road. Glad to see others appreciate Chevy truck history like myself. Here is a shot of a '66 demonstrator.
