These pics came from the Ebay listing and it was mislabed as to the year; but since I also have a 61 GMC Suburban, I bought it anyway. It's newspaper-sized and purty neat. Look for the Donkey!

**special-K** · 03-13-2011, 09:16 AM

Too Much Stuff, I'm proud of my lits,but looking at yours? Man,what a stack!!

I do this all the time to my trucks,don't you?

**too much stuff** · 03-14-2011, 01:01 PM

How about GM factory photos? These were used in the making of the brochures. A couple of these have a GM stamp on the back yet.
And a gmc silver book... and an NOS 70 silver book.
Hmmm, maybe i do have a problem...................................Nah....

**special-K** · 03-15-2011, 08:13 AM

Real nice stuff. Primo material right there!

I'm having a hard time keeping track of what I have and haven't showed yet. Here are more ads. This first one was for the carrier. Talk about a "money shot"

**special-K** · 03-15-2011, 08:25 AM

Here are some good ones

I'd love to have something like that to start up my own collection!

Mac check ebay. That's where I got this one. I just checked and there's 7 or so on there right now. (None of them are mine.) Search for 1968 chevrolet pickup.
Thank you for sayin it's in good shape. It is, but not perfect. You can see some rust from the staples in some of the pics. check the 5th pic, the one with 4 interior shots, lower staple, lots of rust. And on the lower right of the front cover there is some wear. You can see some white where green grass should be, pic 1.
I collect some 1968 stuff as money allows. Good luck with your collection.
Thanks again.

GCncsuHD · 03-17-2011, 03:16 PM

Some great reading material in here. I don't have any for my 67...yet. But for Christmas a few years back I found some original magazine ads for the 1956 International S-100 that my Father in Law is restoring and framed them for him.

Thanks for the tip bruceman! I just so happened to try ebay the other day and found the exact sales brochure like yours and its on its way!

I have a ways to go to build up my collection like yours and special k but hey, its a start!

This is an awesome thread! I can't believe how much cool lit is out there and what some of the members here have collected. VERY impressive.

Some of these ads and promos are just plain hilarious!

**special-K** · 03-18-2011, 08:31 AM

They sure did promote in print back then:

I'm about out of literature:

1972K20 · 03-20-2011, 01:33 PM

Not literature, but some commercials that someone might enjoy:

YouTube - 1972 Chevrolet Truck Commercial...

YouTube - 1972 gmc pick up commercial

YouTube - 1971 chevrolet pick up commercial

YouTube - Vintage 1970 Chevy Blazer Jay...

YouTube - 1969 chevrolet commercial

**special-K** · 03-21-2011, 10:01 AM

Those are great ads.

bollybib · 03-21-2011, 11:18 AM

Thanks to special-K and all the rest of you for sharing this stuff...no way I'll ever have a personal collection this extensive from this era...but I can wallow in this thread as much as I like.

Be warned, the oil embargo, double digit inflation, and econoboxes will change all this fun shortly.

Edit on 3/25/11: (practicing using the Edit Post feature on a rainy day).

While performing a lit self exam this morning, I found these two.

X-8042 has a GM copyright date of 1968.

X-8041 has no date. Is that the rare Bowtie driveshaft in the last pic ?

Way to much cool stuff here.

70c10-08 · 03-20-2012, 09:37 PM

Heres my February 1970 Chevrolet Communication box that GM sent to the dealers it told them how to make a sale, increase profits, how to prep trucks to get em sold faster, and how to service a dana axle

70c10-08 · 03-20-2012, 09:55 PM

heres more pics of the films a record and a product appreciation test and im havin the films and records converted into dvd

**special-K** · 03-21-2012, 06:31 AM

^^ That's a great addition to this collection. I guess they needed all the help they could get to move these dogs off the lot,eh? Yeah right! I think the only reason the made that packet was so collectors could have something to buy in the future

This thread has 10x more stuff than that car brochure website some members keep posting links to. Thanks for bringing it back!
