    Here is the latest.. The '72 conv. may be replaced with a better angle shot of the same car (in the works).

    Please check out the production stats in post 73, if I do not hear anything those are what I am going with.

    I would like to send the poster file to the printer next week for a quote so I am making Tuesday 1/22 the deadline for any changes...

    ***71 Lime Mist has been updated...Thanks Larry D...!!!

    Now for my standard disclaimer
    ***Just so that there are no hard fealings if I do not use a photo of your car that you may have sent or was on the poster before, I will be adding/removing cars as I receive photos to get a good mix of colors and also to get better angles. I am not playing favorites, I am just trying to make a nice looking poster. No one has given me any problems but I just want to be up front and keep this project on friendly grounds..***

    I should have pricing and availabilty soon for the GS poster :TU:

    Thinking about the next project :Comp:

    How about one that shows the colors and production numbers available for a year? :Brow:

    I think 1970 would have the best shot at getting most colors but I would really like to do a 1968 version.... I will start another post to start collecting photos if there is interest...

    Car colors may not be correct in this shot...

    I know the colors are not correct, I just needed to show some cars...

    Mike, great job!!

    One thing about the idea for the next poster...if you thought is was hard to get this many photos i think it will be very hard to collect all the paint colors for each year. Maybe instead you could do one for each year that breaks down the options, colors and production numbers on each car? So there would be one for 1968 that would have a few shots of a 68 GS, California, conv. ect. with all the info listed. Then another one for 69, 70 and so on. This might be more work doing the posters but not so much work hunting down the photos. Just a thought.:TU:

    Hopefully you have the first one at the printer and are progressing well on the new idea!:kodak:

    Remember, these posters are only 11' x 17". I wish I could go larger but that would take professional photos of each car :Dou:

    Photoshop 7.0 is what I have and I really don't know how to use 90% of the features :pp

    Your correct on getting one of each paint color but I thought I would try:Do No: . The first poster covers production numbers but I like your thinking if the color thing don't work :Brow:

    Hopefully I will have prices ready soon (end of next week?), I still need to figure out what it is going to cost to ship them :confused: since it will require a mailing tube to keep them from being creased.

    Mike - Im going to be underwater for the next week so DEFINATELY put 2 aside for me whatever the cost ... I'll probably want more than that put at least put a place holder down for 2 in my name :beers2:

    ... and it has NOTHING to do with my car being directly in the middle of the poster :eek2: :TU:

    Mike. Great job :beer I will take 12. (gotta give a couple of gifts, then stash a few) I am really happy that you got the pics and they are in there. ( only two yellow cars? and for sure only one Harvest Gold:TU: ) You did a great job mixing and matching all the various colors that were offered thru the years. Looks like it will be someting to frame and hold on to :Smarty: Can't wait to see them!

    I am still working on the shipping details :Comp: I will tell you that two different sizes will be available, 11"x17" and 16"x25" :Brow:

    When I have the prices ready I will start another thread to see how much interest there is in each size.

    Sorry for the delays but it takes a "little" work to pull this together :pp

    :TU:
