translation...paperwork.

does anyone else collect manuals, brochures, dealership info (i have clean down to the 91 Buick Roadmaster in that), etc?

Good thing you posted that. I have atleast 100 brochures that I've collected over the past 2 years. My favourite is a super high-quality Audi R8 brochure. I swear, it would cost you $30 if you bought it in stores. 👍

I have a collection of Chrysler Corp. and Viper stuff from the auto shows in the mid 90s? (aka when Dodge was "decent") other than that not much else.

[Turbo Lag]

Nice list there, how long did it take to collect that many?

 

[Jay]

I have tons of them, most notible

Late 90's Dodge Viper brochure (RT/10 and GTS, very high quality, limited and wasn't freely avalible)

late 90's Plymouth prowler, very similar to the Viper type brochure

Original Nissan Skyline R32 GTR brochure, from the very short run of Australian sold R32 GTR's, very high quality with a pouch, given to me by a ex Nissan employee.

 

[Sniffs]

WHAT a list, there.

among other things, I have:
the brochure for the S2000 when it first came out, here
pre-release material for the PT Cruiser
67 Caddy manual and paperwork

and floating around in the house that I wanna get my hands on is a 1909 Motor Age with Renault as the primary article!
