Question "Has anyone seen one of these"?...

Has anyone seen one of these? It is a 1973 GM Custom Accessories Catalog, this is the Canadian Version. I am looking for the USA Version, but I don't know if they make it, I have been looking for one for just a 1973 Oldsmobile and / or a 1973 GM. I have seen them for Chevrolet and Chevrolet Trucks. Here below are some Pictures of what I have found so far, this one is 64 Pages. Please let me know if you have what I am looking for and / or if you can shed some light on the information I have listed above. I want to purchase one if I can find the correct one for 1973.

Please Advise...

Thanks for your time,

Your best bet on narrowing down your search is to determine if they had different accessory catalogs for each division. As a suggestion, I know there's a guy in the FB 61-66 Starfire group that used to work in the parts dept at a GM dealer, and he's got a ton of old catalogs & parts books. Ralph Hupfer is his name, I would bet he could tell you. I am not sure if he's a member here.

Thanks Jeff!

So far I have went ahead and purchased this Booklet that I have pictured. I found it on a Canadian Website called kijiji, it is very much like eBay. The guy wanted $40.00 for it plus another $15.00 for Shipping, I offered him $45.00 for it including shipping and he took it. I figured that I had better get it since this was the only one that I had seen.

Kijiji is similar to Craigs List not e-bay. I have a '73 Canadian accessories book, printed Feb '73 # 738, different cover, partially bi-lingual, but it is 11 inches tall and 8 wide. Has about 75 pages. Not for sale.
