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!
