Most big car shows have vendors with these, post cards, and ads cut from magazines.  It's fun to find an old ad featuring your car.  I found one with my 47 Ford Tudor with the rare white paint.

I had a 1976 Nova with the same ugly plaid interior as seen in the brochure!

I pulled the vinyl and chrome off my 86 (leather, 26K miles old lady car).  My buddy welded up 80-some holes and painted it:

Damn, you're making me miss it- that's a beautiful example there.   Sad

We called mine The Mothership.  Bought it from a poet in college for $200:  the roof liner had been replaced with porn, it had a backup beeper, the hood ornament had been replaced with the bust of Mozart.  The rear window had a collection of pimp hats; if you sat in the car you had to wear one.  It could haul a Neal Peart-size drum kit or two half-stack amps in the truck.

Sold it when it threw a cylinder for $1200.  Shrug

The first family car I was allowed to drive.

Today it's sold as the Honda Crosstour.
