Nostalgic Car Ads: Great Source!

[Rue]

I ran across a guy's Photostream on Flickr that features bucket-loads of magazine scans of car ads from the 80's. You could lose hours looking at them all. I know we have some people on here that love this sort of thing so I thought I'd share what I'd stumbled across.

No problem guys, glad you liked it. That guys thread is a gold mine of random nostalgia, especially if you're British like me.
