Since before you were born?
That must have been painful for your mother.

I've seen ads in Hemmings for old car documentation. You might want to check out an issue.

Pastmaster-

There is a place here in Ventura, Ca. called Pacific Motor Books. There phone number is (805) 649-1251. I don't know if they have what you want or not, but there's a pretty good chance. They've got TONS of books, manuals, advertising pieces, magazines, etc. Give them a call. If they don't have them, they could probably get them for you.

Take care,
-Chris

Raoul: I guess that didn't make sense, did it? My dad worked for FoMoCo from (I think) 1968-1975, so he got alot from them, and I just have collected too. I still like to go through every once and a while and see what was new for '73,'78,'80,'87,92' and finally 1997. I have almost memorized the early version!

PKRWUD: Thanks for the info, I will give them a call.

Cool collection! I saw some of those early eighties brochures on e-bay a few weeks ago, try that too.

When I was a kid, I used to collect farts in a jar and open them a week later to see if the aroma was well preserved, it wasn't. I also used to have a contest with my step-brothers to see who could make the largest collection of dried up boogers on the wall by our beds. Boy did that used to **** my mom off! Sorry to be so gross again.

I now collect Counting Crows bootlegs and imports and just recently added two British import singles of the song "Hangin Around" both of which have different B-sides. The Brits get all of the cool music stuff. I have now heard all and own some of the songs from an album that is not even released until Nov. 2. Thanks to the internet!

Oh come on guys, certainly you all have done something gross when you were a kid?

The air was not thin, I was just bored and a little twisted. I am happy to report that I am not nearly that twisted anymore.

After reading Seacrows post, I have decided not to read anymore posts while eating my lunch.

All of my posts have the USDA seal of approval.

My nightmare is I break down and the only ride I can get is in seacrow's truck.
