Keep in mind, the bulk of their advertising was for Corvettes and Cadillacs also we’re at the mercy of what’s been scanned but below ads mostly Non-Corvette Performance cars although I couldn’t help but include some of the best ones also other ads well worth reading too.
Besides yet more proof Chicago was a Musclecar Hotbed, it’s interesting JD seemed to order their performance cars in batches also strange if initially unaware of the ‘69 Copo program and hooked up w/ Yenko for L72 cars before ordering directly from Chevrolet when he found out? 
Ads are chronological also as info above, 1969 appears to be the only year w/ Yenko association.
Looks like lots of L78 Novas also Pacers out there to be found, anyone please speak up if you recognize anything or want to try searching specific cars.

----Having not been in Chicago during the "important era" I really appreciate these adds as it shows the depth of JD's performance. I've been told a lot of stuff by my peeps over the years, but this kind of flushes things out. Thanks, Pete!!!.....Bill S
