Does anyone here collect thirdgen magazine advertisements? I have started collecting camaro magazine ads. I only have 6 at the moment. I did some research and compiled a list of camaro ads. Does anyone know how many where produced? Also If anyone has any I would like to hear what ones you have and how many. I would also like to start a firebird advertisement list but the firebird ads seem harder to come by. If anyone has any firebird ads would you mind posting the ads title and year of the ad.

Mr. TurboTA

Also,
I have a few others, just not framed yet!
Never took photos of the ones I haven't framed though.
Maybe I should!

Having seen George's collection of literature, I think it would take him years to catalog all the ads he has. I think its safe to say he has all of them, lol.

91rsowner4life

thanks Mr.TurboTA nice collection! that link will help a lot. do you know what year that firehawk ad is form? heres a pic of a fue of my ads. its not the best pic i have a better one of the halloween ad if you want to see it

Mr. TurboTA

Hey Dan!
Not true!
I'm missing the one of the 25th Anniversary Trans Am that you picked up!
I did get the '79 Trans Am one page ad from the New Yorker magazine, not to long ago.
When you coming back out, to help get everything in order?

Hi 91rsowner4life!
The Firehawk ad was in 1992 magazine!
I have seen your pictures in another post I believe.
Sometime, I will take pictures of all my posters!
Sorry, but being a Trans Am guy, all I have are Trans Am/Firebird stuff.

Does anyone have the other 1987 Formula Ad where it states a limited production of 1500 Units. If you look on the newer ads they still have the reference to a limited production, but there is no note below...

John

TAdan

John I guess I have the newer 87 Formy add, it only mentions limited production. No mention of 1,500.

91rsowner4life

what did it look like? what color car did it have on it?

TAdan

Yellow 87 Formy 350 posed infront of a black racecar trailer with a T/A drag car inside the trailer. (I actually have this ad hanging in my bedroom, lol)

The text at the bottom of the ad was probably changed like John mentioned.

I have seen plenty of ads with variations of the same picture. Different text, or an airbrused photo.

okfoz

Like this:

TAdan

Thats the one It still makes me want a yellow 87 Formula 350

Mr. TurboTA

I have never seen 1500 mentioned, but as for the other ad, it really doesn't say the Formula will be limited, just the 350 engine has limited availably. As did Trans Ams, and GTAs that year.
Can you post a picture of the 1500 ad?

George

okfoz

I had a copy of one on my hard drive a long time ago. But my drive crashed and I lost it but it was there... I think there may have been actually 3 different ads, as I thought there was an asperisk "*" behind the Limited Availability in the type.

Mr. TurboTA

That's cool John!
I have some one page 1982 Trans Am ads from Playboy magazine (and you guys thought the magazine was just to look at naked girls!! ), that had different words in the center box, and at the bottom of the ad, stated "see your local Southern California Pontiac Dealer".
Always made me wonder if there were different ads in the Playboy magazine with other areas being listed?
Anyone else ever seen these?

George

91rsowner4life

i thought that was the one you where talking about, but i was not sure. yes i have the newer one its still in a magazine i have. i also have a 1986 red trans am ad. it would be nice if we could get all of these hosted on TGO i have scanned all the ones have. when i get more i will scan them so we can have them on here.

when i was putting my camaro ad list i noticed that some times the same ad will have diffrent text or it may be a one page ad in one mag. and in a diffrent mag it will be a two page ad. with one ad they had a women in the ad and they used the same ad and removed the women and put in a guy

91rsowner4life

well i was tryingto post the ad with the guy in it and it will not let me and now i can not delete this post

okfoz

THe ones I do not see for your firebird list are
86 - Trans AM - What would you expect a guy called "the California Flash to drive?"

88 GTA - 5.7 Thundering Liters of legendary, ultra-serious sport coupe
88 Trans AM & Camaro - Dr Jekyll / Mr Hyde

89 TTA - The Magnificent Seven (entire pontiac lineup)

Thanks Cadillac, I appreciate that a lot.

I have several for the third gen Trans Am, including 15th anniversary T/A ads. (I think it may be a good year ad with the anniversary T/A on it)

I'll have to start scanning them and upload, but it'll be a couple of weeks as I'll be travelling for work

I also have a bunch for 1st, and 4th gen pontiac F-bodies, but are they of any interest on a third gen forum?
