This should have its own thread...
There is some neat stuff to be found using Googles 'news archive' search.... give it a try!
Here are some ads for 65 GS's from dealers:

Let's see what else you guys can find!
Chris, what is the best method to capture these pics? 'Print screen' and paste to Paint for editing?

Really cool stuff Walt.. a bit of a blast to the past.
I use the ole "ALT + Print Screen" trick and like you suggested, paste "CTRL +V" into paintbrush and crop it down to size. From there, save as a JPEG.
Thanks for sharing Walt!

I posted some of the old newspaper ads in the Gallery. Here are some examples:
Those old newspapers are cool! Most are pay-per-view or require a subscription, but some are free to view. More to come...
