I've been searching for this news bulletin for years now (ever since I saw snippets of it on the internet). About a month ago, I finally snagged my own copy on eBay. Once it was shipped from Olympia WA, it was bit of nightmare watching it wander from Washington to Oregon and then all over California before finally heading to Canada. It arrived in Canada on Saturday after close to a month on the road and was delivered today. I have now scanned it in 8 parts (4 newspaper type pages, upper and lower). See below.
I am starting with what is usually found on eBay (impossible to read well). Bottomline, it was a 56 Dodge Custom Royal V8 that was pulled off the assembly line by AAA officials (not a D500 which was only introduced months later in December 1955).
Strangely enough, I am posting this News Bulletin on Sept. 9, 2020, 65 years to the day from when the testing started, Sept. 9, 1955. Weird.
