DeMauro - No, this 1970 ad is not included in the Vehicle Information Kits. It's just used to provide a compelling lead photo, since the kits were scanned in black and white. It's very rare that anything associated with our vintage cars is attainable for free, so this is quite an opportunity for some owners of GM vehicles. The GM Heritage Center (GMHeritageCenter.com), via GM Media Archive, has been offering a growing variety of Vehicle Information Kits for Chevrolets and Cadillacs, as well as 1969 to 1972 Oldsmobile Cut...Read More | San Antonio, Texas, 1960s Posted by Daniel Strohl - Date: circa 1960s Location: 3350 S.W.
