Cool Old Ads/Roadtests

Does anyone have some old ads or roadtests scanned in from C&D, Motortrend, R&T, etc? I love to see some period stuff especially on the 12A ones. I found this one for 1985.

I KNEW all that crap I saved would come in handy someday! I have some of the very first ads that appeared in early 1978, and some very early road tests. I'll try to get some scanned later.

1981 Car & Driver RX-7 Issue

Here's an original Car & Driver magazine that came with my '81 GSL, the whole issue is devoted to the rotary engine...

I've got 3-4 old Rotary Rocket magazines, along with a 1981 and 1982 sales brochures.

How do you host vids?

I've got the commercial with the IMSA racer and Rod Millen's 4X4 car in it...
