Cool ads. Very 1983.

It would be funny to send in the card for that jacket now and see what happens.

Is yours made by UPSTREAM as there were two versions of the jacket with one made by another company.
I will have to look when I get home to see who made the other version.
The 1983 Pace Car Jacket was made by UPSTREAM with the same logo that the front fenders of the cars had.
