Re: Ad for a 1987 yellow formula 350

I actually remember that ad. Showing my age I guess.

That exact car (yellow two-tone '87) is my favorite Formula. I might be the only person in the world who actually prefers the '87 rims shown in the ad on a Formula over the later '88+ style (I'm referring to the silver "turbo" wheels, of course, not the black mesh wheels which are the ultimate cat's meow).

I never really digged formulas but I always had a soft spot for the Jamaica yellow two tones. I have that ad on the back of a bunch of old mags that I have.

Yeah I like those as well. I remember the Grand Am and Sunbird had a 14" version of them.
