Great find!

I'll have to scour The Sun for my blue, brown trim 500.  ;)

Good week for both of us as I got a picture of my car from the previous owner this week too.

What a great item to add to your car's documents.

I just love those vintage ads!

How do you research old news papers for the 60's?  I've always wanted to do this but never knew how.

You miss 100% of the shots you don't take.

You can go to the state library and look at what they have archived.

There are also antique dealers that specialize in print.

Whitings Old Paper is just up the street from me and, along with magazines, he has a lot of original Richmond area newspapers on hand. He also has a nice selection of vintage NASCAR racing programs.

They are several ways to do it.

The state library might be one resource.

This ad came from newspapers.com

It cost 19.00 for a months access. Make sure you change your settings after you sign up to stop the auto renewal.

I have a list of the newspapers each dealer used.

If you are looking for a specific dealer the newspaper has to be in the database.

Then its just a matter of typing in a couple keywords and dates....


I think I used 1965-1970 for the date range and "shelby dealer" for the search terms.

If you get too many search words it wont work as well. I have gathered several dozen dealership ads from various dealers.
