Factory assembly line/442 photos?

I have three movie premier poster holders in my garage next to my 69 442 that have nothing in them to display. The poster dimensions are 27" wide by 39" high.

They're kind of an odd size I guess. I was hoping to get the Dr.Olds series pictures blown up and put them on display but their format is wide across and shorter vertically, besides I don't think they will blow up without being blurred.

I was wondering if anyone had some old photos (vertically orientated) of Oldsmobile related content that I can get blown up and use for my poster boards. Not really looking to invest any money into them other than the cost to get them blown up.

Thanks,
Randy

Suggestion: look on line for some 69 advertising and pick it up cheap. Take that to a commercial print lab and have them do the enlarging and enhancement for you. I'm sure they will do a MUCH better job than a regular copier

Thanks for the suggestion Allan. Hopefully I can find something already in that format so I don't lose everything in the enlargement.

Probably more than you were planning to spend, but they are already enlarged and 3 are vertical. They are still smaller than your holders, but maybe can work.

Thanks guys, I've seen those before, a little pricey and still not the right size which will require more blowing up and expense. I guess they didn't have digital cameras back then so I'm SOL.

Cool posters though!
