I used to have many more from the mid-late 1980's that I collected when I first began to be interested in cars. Sadly, I no longer have most of them due to my mom's urging me to get rid of most of the stuff I left behind when I went away to college and later when I moved out on my own. At the time, my interets laid elsewhere, so it was no big deal to pitch these things I hadn't looked at in years. Now I sorely regret having done that as the difficulty and expense to replace them now would not be justifiable. I guess that just goes to show, you should never throw anything away.

I have begun to rebuild my brochure collection in the past few years. I've made it a habit to keep or obtain a brochure for every personally-owned vehicle, although I still have a few to find. Luckily, my dad is a pack-rat also so someday I will have the vintage ones he has saved from the family cars we had while I was growing up.
