Sweet Find!!!!

I was at the salvage yard today getting interior parts for my 88 cat.  I found an 87 that had just arrived that day (so naturally I had first dibs on it)  I found some unique paperwork in the glove compartment...... It was an actual factory brochure all about the '87 Cougar!!  :grinno:  Its a standard size booklet in mint condition - complete with pics and info all about the options the car has.  Also, there was actually a full OWNERS MANUAL in there too, complete with a cougar embroidered case!!! :rollin: In all my years of being a cougar nut - I've never come across any of that stuff!!  I'll post some pics in a bit - just though you all might find that interesting.

So shrink them, or upload them somewhere else and post a link to them.

Is the brochure you're talking about the sales brochure that's about 11"x11", with "Ford Thunderbird" acros the top (for '87, at least) with a few pages of cars, and options, and a full listing of color choices and options at the end? They're really neat -- the ones for '87 are up on eBay all the time, and I recently picked one up for about $3.
