In my 2007 Tahoe’s Owner’s Manual, you have a picture of what appears to be an early 80s Chevy Celebrity and a K5 Blazer (?). That means this photo is about 20 years older than my Tahoe, and probably a bit older than most Opponauts.

What the oldest/most outdated photo in your Owner’s Manual?

That “Celebrity” looks more like a 90ish Buick LeSabre to me.

This could be fun. I’ll brave the cold to grab Crustys manual.

Outdated? Why, this odometer reading, of course! That was a LONG time ago!

Whelp.. a bit of a letdown. The best “outdated” pic in my 1995 manuals is just a drawing of an 87-91 Bronco.

It was in a book called “Four wheeling with Ford” though. Kinda neat.

Ooh! A separate analog Trip Odometer too!

I’m pretty sure the stock battery was a no maintenance type (it lasted 6 or 7 years without filling in any event).

My impression is that very few car batteries require topping off with water these days.

All 80s GM crap is the same.

Those are the words of a quitter!
