Flying High: Celebrating 70 Years with the Goodyear Blimp

A Sky-High Celebration in Plymouth

Earlier this week, we were honored to welcome the iconic Goodyear Blimp to the skies over Plymouth, Massachusetts. It was more than just a visit — it was a moment of celebration for two major milestones: the Goodyear Blimp’s 100th anniversary and our 70th year of serving the New England community. Seeing the blimp soar above Plymouth’s beautiful coastline was an unforgettable experience for everyone who looked up.

A Century of the Goodyear Blimp

The Goodyear Blimp has been a symbol of innovation and aviation history since its first flight in 1925. To celebrate this incredible 100-year legacy, Goodyear launched a 100-city tour, giving fans a chance to witness the blimp in person across North America and Europe. We were thrilled that Plymouth was one of those stops — it gave our local community the chance to be part of something truly special.

Our 70-Year Journey

Back in 1955, we started Sullivan Tire on a dead-end street in Rockland, Massachusetts. What began as a small, family-run business has grown into a name people know and trust throughout New England. Celebrating 70 years is more than just a number to us — it’s a reflection of our commitment to doing the right thing by our customers and always delivering quality service.

Sharing the Moment with Our Community

The blimp’s flights over Plymouth and its harbor added an incredible sense of wonder to our celebration. It was a perfect way to mark this shared moment in history. We loved seeing the excitement on people’s faces and being part of something that brought so much joy to the community.

Special Offers to Say Thank You

To thank our loyal customers for being part of our story, we rolled out some special offers, like our "Buy 3, Get 1 Free" Goodyear tire promotion (runs through June 30th, 2025). It was our way of sharing the celebration and giving back to the people who’ve supported us for seven decades.

Looking Toward the Future

As the Goodyear Blimp continues its centennial tour and we look ahead to our next chapter, we’re reminded of the importance of staying grounded in our values while always looking for ways to grow and improve. This celebration was a great reminder of how far we’ve come — and how excited we are for what’s ahead.
