While looking thru my garage I came across this dealer promo poster still in the plastic wrapper..I thought I would share it with everyone

Surprising what you can find lying around! Nice poster.

Yes I think I bought it 20 years ago and if you look close at the top right corner you can see the 45.00 marked price on it then. My kid must of wanted the thing.

Nice panel alignment for a Firebird, but still not up to today's off-the-lot standards.

Nice poster.

You are right....I really like the white with white walls

Did I mention it is a Ram Air car?....It really is, OH BOY I hope this does not get out of line

I noticed the same. I wish my seams were that crisp.

The color white in real life hides a lot of body imperfections.

Nope, it is definitely NOT a ram-air....because.....wah wah.

Hey what is the original size of that print? Have you done a deep scan of the ad? Its a piece of Pontiac history.

Nash, Just for you buddy, I went and took measurements of it....It is 14x24...A deep scan..UHH..????...I used my camera.:)
and just to set things straight, It IS a ram air and I will prove it!


I did zoom in and found that it has a Michigan front plate on it

OH NO ! I just turned it over and found that someone has changed the numbers on it!..And they got me for the $45

I thought you were gonna post the PHS.

James that IS the true PHS!

I'm just messin' with you. It was meant as a joke after the part # thread.

Yes I know...Me too...:)

Hey I remember a long time ago someone reproduced all the Pontiac dealer posters and I bought a set (don't know where they are now), If I remember correctley, They were just a little smaller then the originals and came shipped in a cardboard tube. Has anyone else seen them?

were the ends of the tubes cut off? hahahahahahaha

sorry, couldn't resist

I think someone used a bandsaw to cut them!

lol

Maybe I should have opened the trunk in my 67 earlier..I can not remember the last time I opened it...And I rebought things I needed that are in there!

whatcha got as far as extras?

whatcha need ?

a 67 Firebird to put on the NOS ashtray I have. LOL If you have parts, I probably need them.

Look in the trunk....Hell I do not even remember what is in there!

That's an old series Michigan manufacturer's plate, 1967. That alone should authenticate it completely!

I wonder why they used it? do you think the car was really registered? I would like to know where it is now...HEY thats your back yard! do you have it?

"manufacturers plates" were/are usually used by service reps ,sales reps working for the manufacturer...I`ve seen several....its almost like a demo plate, but not a dealers....man reps usually kept cars a little longer that dealers demos ,but never over a year (at least here in Texas)

Manufacturer's plates are used on road test and promo cars. Into the early 70's, the manufacturers used to produce a number of cars each model year and introduce the new model (car was kept under wraps until the big unveiling) with these cars. It was a big event to see the new cars. Some were used primarily for test track sessions by magazine reporters, some were show cars, some were road test cars. Most of these cars, other than those that were pre-production test mules, were eventually sold to customers or employees.

They were not used by service reps or sales reps here in Michigan. The manufacturer plates are still in use here, I see cars in body mask driving around quite often on road evaluations. The plates are also used by the engineering teams for long-term testing.

There are a bunch of experimental vehicles at our lab in Saginaw with those plates. They are usually under tarps so the passerbys don't get a peek. I get to look at them when I'm fixing the labs machines. Sorry, no cameras allowed.

They say you learn something new every day....I just did....Here in ma we do not even have temp. plates.

These aren't temp plates. They manufacturers plates. Michigan has paper temp plates.

Jim, I understand that...We in Ma do not even have paper temp plates.

I learn too. You just assume all the states are the same.

I wish...Think about it, how do you drive a new/used car home without plates?...You actually have to register your car first.

In Michigan, they let you drive home without a plate. You have to be registered to get the paper ones. They are for 30, 60, or 90 days. They save you money on vehicles that you only drive occasionally. I've got a 90 dayer on our motorhome.

In other words I buy a car from you, In order for me to take it from you, I have to pay you in full (cash) then get insurance, then go to the registry of motor vehicles, then pay all taxes and fees and 50 bucks for a title NO MATTER how old the car is, then pay for plates and hope you did not sell the car to someone else again OR hope you are still there OR hope you did not push the car in the street as you no longer owned it OR..OR..OR..OR.My point!

This State really Blows!

In MI, you pay and call your ins. on your cell and drive it home.

yep, you learn things every day.... my dad used to say "A day you didnt learn something new was a wasted day!"

I learned something the day I bought a used car in NY, 7 yrs ago +_...I was used to that you just bought it , drove it home with the current plates...not NY ,they wanted to keep theirs, I had to get a temporary Texas paper plate from here before I flew up....found out there were 2 kinds, a 48 hr plate and a month plate...since I was driving back, like a 3 days trip, I asked for the cost difference..."None"....who would buy a 48 hr plate for the same price as a 30 day??
