Really enjoy these.
Found some great turbo Mopar ones, including a 1991 Iroc R/T concept brochure. Pretty neat!
I also scoped out the Shelby Lancer one, I have always wanted one of those. (I had a LeBaron just like it)

Did you see the TANK the '56-66" Chrysler Imperial is??

I know 2 close people who had those - what a tank they were!!

I thought there would be more interest in these...

Which are your favorite brochures??

I laughed at the 1983 Ford LTD brochure. Having driven one for a very long time, it was a bit amusing.

They had my '75 Maverick, '65 Mercury, and '90 Oldsmobiles, plus my favorites like the '66 Impala (Gawd, how I love the layout of that instrument panel!), '61-'65 Lincoln Continental, and '66 Buick and Thunderbird.

The difference between then and now, I think, comes down to this: modern cars are hyped for safety and economy, and (in the case of luxury models) handling; in the '60s cars were hyped for power, special features, and smoothness of driving experience. Ads mentioned fuel economy, but only for the smaller, "compact" cars. Glamor was all (though price was in there: "No other luxury car costs so little" from Thunderbird, for example).

They have my first car, 1985 Buick Skyhawk. Cool to see, althought it is in french! LOL!

That's a decent site. I have used it before to download a few of my favorites. This one, though is the best I have found online:

Here are just two pictures of car that I have owned. Just quickly, I was able to get the full pic and not just the single page of the brochure of the Companies offereing.
I loved these cars.
