The non-Subaru brochures.
...specifically, a sale at the AACA Library and Research Center. This library focuses on cataloguing and preserving automotive sales literature, company documents, magazines, and a lot more. I think I’ve finally found a library that doesn’t put me to sleep! (more information can be found
!!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!!
)
The AACA library holds an annual fundraising sale to clean out their duplicate material as part of the Hershey Region AACA Fall Meet. As you can see above, I bought a few interesting brochures.
I also bought a few Subaru brochures...
The Subaru brochures were in a pay what you want section. I paid about $1.50 per item.
I also picked up this 1999 Toyota Press Kit. It even includes projection slides!
Lastly, I bought this full-sized fold-out poster brochure.
If anyone wants to see anything close up, just let me know!
This was also parked behind the building next to the Library.

What? So jealous right now! On the 1989 Subaru poster, what model is the white coupe fastback with the aero kit?

holy cr@p - that could be dangerous. Awesome stuff - that 959 item is spectacular...944s, 928s, a full line of 911s and the 959 to top it off. How did they ever survive selling only awesome sports cars instead of a bunch of CUVs...)

I love old brochures. I have the Delorean one, Porsche lineup in 2004 (Because CGT), Original Golf and GTI and the original Mustang.

It really was dangerous; there was so much I wanted to buy but didn’t.
I couldn’t believe I found that Porsche poster. It really is awesome! I almost want to frame it, but then I wouldn’t be able to see the back!

I have way too many to count, both old and new. Old brochures are the best!

They are very cool. I want to have one of every car I have ever owned.

The white 3-Door is an RX (also known as an RX Turbo or RX 4WD Turbo). It had the 1.8L EA-82T turbo engine (115 hp, 134 ft-lbs of torque), full-time AWD, and a dual-range gearbox as long as the 5-speed manual was selected.
They made ~2,600 between 1987 and 1989. It was basically the predecessor to the WRX.

Lol. My vice principal just walked up behind me.
“Ah, that’s a good car, Eggplant-sensei.”
“Yes, it’s a Subaru”
“It’s a Leone, isn’t it.”
“Why, yes!”
I like working here.

Hang it from the ceiling mounted between two panes of glass. Front and back are visible, but it’s still a poster and a display piece with less chance of wear-and-tear.

So do I!
I’ve only seen one in person before, and that was in Washington State a few years ago.

That’s a similar goal to what I have, though I want to include cars that my family has owned.
That’s in addition to just general collecting.
