After 30 some years of Buick car dealerships passing out key rings to new car purchasers, the advancement of these auto dealer souvenirs start to get a bit more sophisticated, but of course not compared to today’s standards.
The early 1980s (extended from the late 1970s) had flat plastic key rings with automobile dealerships names printed on them.
Then the start of metal tabs mounted mounted on leather straps.
Even some enameled versions made their debut.
See a few different styles below.
