1966 GM of Canada promotional album - shows Grande Parisienne, Acadian Canso, Beaumont
Permalink  

I picked a few of these albums up from the son of a person who was a fleet buyer for a trucking company back in the 1960 s.  GM would mail him promotional packages like this 

I bought them back in the spring and am starting to go through them and scan some of the pages

 

As the pictures shows this item was kind of a standup folder with factory pictures that one could flip through

I bought a group of them and struck them in a box and am now just going through them - i think the first year is 1961 and I have similar items up to 1968

 

I will share them as I get time to go through them and scan them 

 

this goes back to the good old days when dealers had promo models to give away to the kids of customers 

Now a lot them hide the brochures in closets and make you beg a salesman for one

Wow Don, that is cool stuff!

I blew up the pictures in your post to make them easier to view.

A number of those pics I've never seen before, including the 66 GP which of course is my favourite...
