Dealer brochure pics 78 Salon

[HAFROD]

I know I'm not the only one that likes reading the original dealer brochures. Thought I'd post some pics of my 78 model dealer brochure of the aero cars since there's not much info or interest in this model of car. The last pic is a pic taken from a hard back book I have "100 years of the American auto". If you click on the pic, it will blow up full screen to be able to read it

I wonder how Mr. BJ's got his knick name?

That was a much simpler time. Millionaire/gentleman race car drivers with supemodel girlfriends drove oldsmobiles.

The more you show your love of your Salon makes me want one (or even a Century) more to add to the Monte.

The #33 race car is an Alfa Romeo Tipo 33/4 Can Am car...which was driven by local boy, Sanger, TX native, the late Milt Minter... Probably worth close to $2M if it went up for Auction, especially with Alfa's coming back to the US. In '78, it probably could have been bought for about $12K.

So '78 Salons were actually raced back in the day:

If you didn't want one before, you probably want one now.
