TSD988 is the Bardahl Dana test car which started out as a 4-speed.

Re: Old Newspaper Ads

Wonder if that 68 BM 427 Biscayne is the one in the Motion advertisements? I don't think any have ever been found though they likely would just blend in with any other 427/425 Biscayne.

Re: Old Newspaper Ads

These are really cool to read. Thanks for posting them.

Here is one from September 15th of 1977 in the Chicago Tribune with my Chevelle for sale.

Re: Old Newspaper Classified Ads

Can it be Brand X? Maybe the granddaddy of all "where did this car go?" ads.....

"The only one in town."

Finally, a car ad that isn't an exaggeration.

Re: Old Newspaper Ads

Pete,
Love all the old ads.
I did a quick search using a website with old newspapers awhile ago, trying to find info on my 69 Post Sedan SS, but didn't have the kind of access you seem to have.
Great stuff. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif[/img]

Re: Old Newspaper Ads

Just lay the when/where on us Rick and I'm happy to give it a search if you'd like.
A few pages back I was waiting for you or Kurt to comment on the L78/M22 300 Deluxe ad, here again below.

Re: Old Newspaper Ads

I've spent a few weekends at Road America -- the parties were awesome ... always waited til' Monday to make the trip home for good reasons!!@#$ TAZ [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/beers.gif[/img] [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/beers.gif[/img] [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/beers.gif[/img] [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/beers.gif[/img] [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/flag.gif[/img]

Re: Old Newspaper Ads

That 69 300 Deluxe HT L78, M22 sounds awesome!!!

Maybe Grady Burch's, or the gold one that came to NOCC two years ago, or the Dusk Blue one Rick Pauley knows about?

The one you found is from Sept. of `69 so probably not my black Post SS, but I'd love to know if it's still around.
My black car was sold to a used car dealer, when still nearly new in late `69, in Warsaw, IN
The original owner's wife didn't want to drive it in the snow with winter on the way.
Somehow the car found its way to Detroit, MI in the 70's, where I bought it from a few years ago.

So if you could search the IN classifieds late `69/early 70's, and the Detroit classifieds in the early to late 70's, maybe something will show up.
TIA for your help. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/beers.gif[/img]

Sounds great Rick and I'll give searching your info a try tonight.
Overall, I can't believe how much really cool stuff there actually is also clues to dig deeper.
Great if we can match more of the ads w/ surviving cars but especially w/ the CA plate thing, maybe we can smoke a few out!
