I'm sure he's squealing with delight by now... Ads of Tempos and Topazes from 1983-1986 issues of my dad's National Geographic collection. Shown here in chronological order (seperated by make)


























I also found a couple Taurus/Sable ads from when they were introduced in 1986-











One thing that made me laugh out loud is in the last Tempo ad where it says "For those in search of a quick means of self expression, we think Ford Tempo Sport GL represents an excellent choice. It's perfect for a stimulating climb to the top."

Thats so awsome! Thanks. Saved them all. And I was reminded that the Tempo is the best damn car on the face of the Earth.

Wow, I like the Taurus and Sable ads (I have the wagon one). Do you have them in a larger size? I run an encyclopedia for the Taurus/Sable and it would be a great addition:

Yep, here they are in their original sizes. Sorry for the alignments of the pics. My copier isn't large enough for two pages, and I had to put one and one together.













My dad has these magazines from as far back as the early 70s. If you are looking for a specific vehicle ad, let me know. I've seen some GM and Chrysler ads, along with a lot of imports. Although Ford Lincoln Mercury seem the most common.

some Volvo ones will be nice (of course only if you have time to search that thorugh )

how 'bout some French cars?

Peugeot 504,505,604, Renault LeCar, Alliance

Very cool, thanks!
