    Almost every old USA car...

    For a little stroll down memory lane...

    This has to be one of the coolest websites whether you have gasoline in your veins or not.

    This is a website featuring the Original Factory Brochures for nearly every American Car you have ever owned.

    Pick the manufacturer, the year and the model. http://www.lov2xlr8.no/broch1.html

    You can click on any brochure (even the little ones) to blow them up to readable size.

    You are going to spend HOURS perusing, so go to the bathroom first. . .

    I'm a sucker for these oldies....:shock::yum:

    Very cool, Cor.

    The site has my 1963 Rambler brochure!

    Great find, Cor. There's even the brochure for my '54 Dodge Coronet—the first American car I ever owned and the only one I didn't lose money on when I sold it.
    All the world’s a stage, but obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing his lines. Maybe that’s why it’s hard to tell if we’re living in a tragedy or a farce.

    One of my most used links to look back in time when cars resembled cars....

    Nice find. Notice back in the early days there was almost no mention of safety features.

    That's because there mostly weren't any.

    Brakes were considered the only safety feature necessary.

    With drum brakes all the way around, they barely qualified as brakes.

    In my '54 Dodge, dragging your foot helped.
