I got lucky quite a few years ago, and was able to buy new, still folded and in the original paper envelope, a 1979 Pontiac Trans Am Billboard ad. When I took it out, to take photos, I was only able to set up 1/3 of it in a one car spot of the garage! So, three photos for you. Sorry that they are one above the other, but I didn't think they would work sideways. Enjoy! George

I was able to get this whole thing laid out in one place! Lisa was able to get permission at her work (Coca Cola), for me to use their warehouse after work, to lay the whole thing out for a photoshoot. The only problem? I was on a huge ladder, and even climbed onto the tall storage racks, and still couldn't get a super good picture. Either way, here is what the whole thing looks like. Just thought I would update this post with new photos. George

I wonder if there would be a way to display this on a (exterior) garage door, or garage wall, without gluing it down?
Awesome poster....unfortunate to keep it packaged away......
Thanks for sharing!

I agree with you on the model. ;D That is the same photo used inside the 1979 brochure, only in the brochure, the car is gold. I also have a 1984 Billboard Ad (as does TADan) that i thought I took photos of, but I can't seem to find them. Dave, I don't see how that would work. It would be cool though. George
