purchased aftermarket, not ones that came with car.

EDIT: had to cut the quality of image in fourths and the size in half to get to posting requirements. if anyone wants a fullsize good quality image for some odd reason just email me i'll send it.

I have also recently picked up a set of factory produced and distributed "Dealership selling stratagies" audio tapes.

I have also got a set of VHS video tapes used at dealerships to sell '91 Camaros.

You can see that the first item I posted up was a Product Info packet. I was at a local car show and the guy had 3 of these. I bought only 1 and have regretted it ever since. I have only ever seen 2 more of these. They are the packets sent to dealerships BEFORE the cars come out, so the dealerships know what is coming and what will be different on the new models. This one is unopened, so I don't even know whats in it.....

The only thing I don't have is the '91 Convertible Supliment. There was one on Ebay the other day and someone SNAKED me out of it at the last second..... It looked mint. I would be willing to pay TOP DOLLAR for one of these !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am also looking to get a complete set of the '91 factory photos!

I have tons more and will have to check to see what else I have.

P.S. the pics above are scans of my actual items!!!

Not sure I saw it in your posts but do you have the spare plastic key that goes with the owners manual? and believe it or not Canadian cars got a different "total warranty brochure". If i can figure out how to attach, I will do so.

My '91 ILE was leased out in its first years of life - I was even able to track down that paperwork....
Nice collection of print media

I think that sucks and sucks, did I mention that sucks?

I guess what is even worse is that I had to sell my baby, so I no longer have a ride to show off

Letter to owners living in California rearding warranty, lease etc. It is a double sided page.

I find it interesting how on the '91 service manual the actual photo car is missing 1)rocker panel emblems, and look at the windsheild pillars - they are black not body colour?
All the brochures have different part #
warranty books - 10152330A, 523632557
maintenance schedual - 10152313A, 10152313

Check list book - copyrighted in 1979, but no part #
I thought this would add to the collection...
If I can find the '91 rag suppliment, I will post this too.

Dang,
The collection is getting bigger and bigger as the years pass. In 82, all I got was the one piece booklet and that was it. Nice job everyone, and hold on to them because all the paper work you have (IMHO) will add value to your car.

I don't think I have one. I am still also looking for both of those brochures that you posted up and that key. I also want to find the "tire brochure" that came with the cars. My ultimate goal would be to find the "labels" that came on things in the car from the factory. They hung off of things like the lighter and the blinker lever.

The tire brochure - although it is getting tough to find it, they are still kicking around, and you WILL stumble across one sooner than later - the SIR lable and the PDI lables that most dealers removed before delivering the car to the customer will be the tough ones...

Oh, and I have an update, that 1991 Product Information folder was sent to the media, not the dealerships. It was used to let magazines and TV shows know what was new for the upcoming year so the facts would be right in the articles and TV segments.

If anyone is interested in what is in this press packet, there are some loose sheets that explain what it is and have some info about the "new" Camaros, along with other cars. If anyone is interested, I can scan it an post it up.

P.S. I also found my complete 82-92 F-body MicroFiche set and my parts list
