Thanks for all the kind words guys, I really appreciate it! Reading these old articles takes me back in time and makes me wish I would have been born 20 years earlier so I could have been part of the original muscle car era. Hopefully posting them will ignite a fire in somebody else so they can enjoy the old car hobby as much as I do.

I've got several thousand old magazines but most are from the 80's and up from when I started seriously getting into cars when I was around 13. I'll post a few of those articles later but these original articles from back in the day are my favorite, especially the ones on dealer supercars from Baldwin Motion and Royal Pontiac. I'll post several more over the next few weeks as I'm getting close to finishing up the Hi Performance Cars articles through 1974 and it's easier to do a whole bunch at once instead of one at a time.

I wish the quality of the pics was a little better but I can't really tell how they turn out until I upload them from my phone and see them on my computer screen. Scanning them from my printer would be best but that would take years to do what I've done in a few weeks with my phone. I'm glad you guys enjoy the articles, I'll keep posting them until I run out of original material from back in the day. Chad
