Remember your very first car? It's probably here if it was built in North America.

Remember your very first car? I'm sure you do. For me it was a 1968 Pontiac Parisenne, which I bought used in 1972. The price of gas then was 47 cents a gallon, which works out to be about 12 cents a litre in today's terms.
Here's a website featuring the original factory brochures for nearly every North American car you have ever owned. Pick the manufacturer, the year and the model. Enjoy!

    Note that Corvettes are in their own section,  at the end, under Chevrolet...

Ted Yates
Listen shortly after 8:30 this coming Tuesday morning for my interview with Tommy James of the Shondells. That's the day his book 'Me, The Mob & The Music' hits the shelves.
While we were listening to his big hits like 'Hanky Panky', 'I Think We're Alone Now', 'Mony Mony', 'Crystal Blue Persuasion' and 'Crimson and Clover', he was going through some problems behind the scenes. It will be a very revealing interview and I hope you can catch it here on Oldies 1150 CKOC.
Here's a performance of 'Crimson and Clover from the Ed Sullivan Show from 1969:
