    Check out all the new car goodies I found in a Junkyard Flint Built 71 Skylark. This is what you would have gotten on a new car built in March of 71. Dig the IBM card and the start instructions. This is the real deal. Warranty info as well. This stuff was most likely in this car since 1971.

    That car is a long way from home. I have most of that stuff except for the IBM card. Amazing that it stayed in the glove box for all those years.

    Do you think the chick on the accessory brochure is still alive? Was that her only claim to fame?

    Great find!...hard to believe after 40 years...especially in a yard.

    I'm very fortunate to have manual, POP card, and warranty folder. Now, if I can only come up with Flint to Hawaii delivery charge...:Comp:

    Jason, I would prefer to think of that chick the way she was not the way she looks now thanks. Think of any rock star of the day and that can give you na idea.:Do No: ...Also notice how there is a folder for Drum brake cars. Disc must have been special folder. The nicest thing is that start tag is going right on my restored car. No repro for me.....The Owners manual was in the car as well but had water damage............This car had a really nice green Ac dash and gauge bezel but the yard wanted to sell car as a whole. Not sure if I could get money back on 4 door car.
