1958 "ROCKET AGE" coloring book

I have a "Rocket Age" coloring book. At the bottom of the front cover it says: Courtesy of OLDSMOBILE on behalf of your Authorized Quality Dealer
On the back it has Jerry Lewis and Patti Page in space suits (rocket) advertising there likes for Olds.
I was told it was something they handed out to the kids at the dealership while they waited. It's never been colored in!
Can't find anything about it on the internet. Any ideas what it might be worth?

Stuff like that is neat to come across! Normally they are trashed but some good folks take it home and keep it for years, only to be rediscovered later.
A buddy of mine got ahold of a small BOX full of NOS Pinto coloring books from some dealer back in the 70s. They were not worth much (like 5 each) but a single Olds one should be worth more. Just depends on who wants it and how bad!
