To coincide with this, AMC launched a bevy of ads in such publications such as LOOK magazine to promote the heavily watched show:

http://www.planethoustonamx.com/press_photos/68_javelin_tv.jpgkeep in mind the "new" 1968 Javelin, Rebel, Ambassador, Rambler & American series would not be in dealer showrooms for another 2 weeks, so quite neat. Anyone want copies of these taken from my original negs they are $9 each. Not sure if those early Javvies had sail panel plugs or not, and I don't think Jim Nabors knew.
