Pamphlets, Brochures, and other Prints
 

Seeing that we are becoming an increasingly paperless society, the coveted car brochure risks extinction.

As a car buff, I have gone through thousands of brochures and various print from dealers, car shows, etc, over the years, most of them discarded and kept the few most precious to me. I'll start with one of my favorite prints, the 1990 Canadian brochure of the coveted Lexus LS400, the car that started my passion for Lexus.

Which ones have meaning to you? :circlel

I've got one for each of the Lexus' I've owned. The 98 GS one is my favorite :)

I have one for the LS460 and one for the LS600H both in Japanese. Picked them up in Aomori, Japan. Been a over a year since I lived in Japan and miss it everyday.

I have a few cool ones:
Ferrari FF
Aston Martin Rapide
Bentley Flying Spur
And of course I have brochures for the 1999 and 2013 Lexus RX 300/350

All cars I've considered purchasing.

I still have a (hardcover) factory brochure for the original 1990 Acura NSX.

The lack of books is frustrating.

I wen't to test drive the new X5 at Fields of Northfield and wanted to see some color samples, typically the book has everything. BMW has decided its better to provide a binder with color samples. My sales person brings out the binder and long behold they have X5 X3 X6 and X1 samples all mixed up in that one binder. I wanted to see the bronze metallic in person but none of the binders had it. They suggested I look at a similar color on a X6 they had in stock. I said thank you very much and left.

How can you expect me to order a car if I can't see a paint sample?

'91 mr2
 

Here's another one of my favorites and a 23-year old one at that. The coveted 91 MR2 (brochure). Too bad for the coffee stain, but otherwise takes me back to my teenage youth dreaming I'd own this car one day...:D
