Looking through some magazines...
Sunday, December 23, 2012 11:53 AM
Came accross these. Thought you guys might be interested.
I still have a few BIG boxes of dad's old magazines to go through so there may be more, but I laughed every time I came accross one. There's another one I didn't take a picture of of a first gen at a car show showing off GM's supercharged 2.2.
It'd be sweet if anyone had any other stuff to take a picture of or scan in.

I have a double size mini poster of a red '84 Firenza GT hatch (when GT was still a 4 cyl trim and wheel package) - it's a great shot but have not figured out how to scan a poster yet. The poster was in the 'miscellaneous' bin of my local Olds dealership brochure stand.

1. Hang up the poster on a clean wall
2. Take good digital camera (at least 5.0 megs, 10.0+ preferable) and use a tripod to steady camera.
3. frame entire poster in shot and take picture
4. upload picture

If that was wall hung and pictured would be nice.I would like to take that statement and make it larger for a cool idea I have so I can save it and make something wickedly bad a--!

Ron--

You mean like a garage door cover?

Here comes the solver of problems non-car related:

1. download picture after Jon uploads picture
2. Take it to a vinyl sign maker, they'll get the job done.

Here's one in my area:
