Auto Brochures

http://www.lov2xlr8.no/broch1.html

Been having fun with this all morning.
Look up the auto brochure from nearly any American car you've ever had.
Good stuff.

Cool, Bill. Thanks for posting that.

I found some original brochures for the '63 Ford lineup and the Falcon on Ebay. Such fun!

Thanks for the link.
I found the ad for my first car, a red Chevelle SS 396 with a black vinyl top. Boy, sure wish i still have that baby!

Cool link. Here was my first baby...1974 Olds Cutlas Cpe and was the same color as the brochure including white vinyl top! I swapped out the lame hubcaps and put on a nice set of Cragar SS rims.

That's interesting; seems like fewer and fewer companies even print them anymore.
