Was using Newspapers.com for some research and found the H/O classifieds which is amazing...but also came across this: HO HO HO!!!

 

What a gift that would had been! Also like the factory refrigeration on the F-85.

 

$27,010 in 2016 money, according to the internet...

 

Dam I'd take 2 of em' then !!

 

Hmmm.... W machine equipped with Firestone Wide Ovals

 

Yeah, who doesn't love those???

 

Yep, it is fun finding the old ads.....

 

Few More.....

 

Ooops, forgot to attach....

 

And a Few More....

 

Thanks for posting those 1969Hurst. If anyone else has a subscription to Newspapers.com, it is fun to take a look back in time and read these articles and see the advertisements. And if you have had the same phone number for years you can even look up your old ads...how cool is that?

 

Yes, thanks for posting these ads - way cool!

Any for Crisconi Olds in Philadelphia, PA, especially circa May 1969 ?

 

I gave it a quick search and didn't see any from May 1969. They had something in 1968 showing an employee Len Rogers joined their company. That's all I got.

 

Thanks for checking! Hoping to find some pictures someday. Of course my 442 was sold there in May 1969

The only one I have ever seen is this one from the 1950's. Still cool.

You're welcome Tom. Let me know if there is anything else you need to check on. My subscription still is good for a few weeks.

 

I assume they have newer papers as well? If you could check for Wright Motors in Hazelton, PA around April -May 2004 ? That is where I bought my Final 500 Alero, and know they ordered a couple, along with a Final 500 Bravada at the time. Would be cool to see them listed in an ad, or even something showing the close of the Olds part of the dealership

 

The most recent they have archived is the year 2000. Sorry.

 

NP. Thanks for checking!

 

I did find this 69 442 Auto convertible. "Newer than new."

 

Got another one:
