Here a few Old Newspaper Ads w/ some of the action happening at Jack Douglass through the glory years. 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. ~ Pete .

Thanks guys and hope everything’s readable as the Ads are full of some really great info and cars. Few 63-65 era Jack Douglass Ads seem to have been scanned and above best I could find, I was hoping for a Z16 but no luck, does anyone know if any rolled through the JD operation? It appears JD preferred selling in-stock performance cars over ordering individually, looks like lots of L78’s and Pacers also ‘66 L79 Chevy 2’s went through their doors, love to hear of any existing today. Interesting ‘67 L78 Ads w/ 425 Hp, too late for early higher advertised Hp cars also more likely paperwork Hp than modified cars? Note the Bocar in the 04/29/67 Ad, could be the one Lee posted a few weeks back in the 'Can’t make this stuff up' thread also is the Brigance ‘67 Z28 Ad possibly the existing known car Jon M. has mentioned here before? Again, Chicago was indeed a Musclecar Hotbed w/ their Newspapers of the day teeming w/ amazing Ads, old Newspapers from LA + Philly also surprisingly Winnipeg are much the same compared to many other major cities. I was thinking of you Bill when including a few Corvette Ads, cool if you recognize any JD cars also don’t miss the private Ads, especially some of the ‘Vettes listed in that 12/01/68 batch! Cool if any Ads are new to you Stefano, are you talkin’ the JD stuff or old Nickey Ads? ~ Pete .
