I've got a bunch of these to show But I need to scan them first

 

Does anyone remember, or have a pic of a Olds add where the car is rocketing around the moon?

 

I never saw or heard of VK AF before, but the portrayal of the cars, especially the reflections in the paint is fabulous.

Oh yeah, and those Pontiacs must be about 2 foot high at the scuttle and at least 10 feet wide!

Loving this thread.

"On the Way to the Moon"' is as close as I can get

The best memory is spotting a car 1/2 mile away and knowing what it was.
Try doing that today.

Anyone know how/where to see these images(all of them!) larger.Yeah,I clicked on them,but they're still not big enough. 'cntrl+' doesn't help=they're blury.
These are great! But my eyes aren't so.

Thanks.

 

click on thumbnail which will enlarge it somewhat..them mouse over the image again and you will get a + sign IF the image can be enlarged some more. If you get the + sign click again.
