Radios and undercoating were money makers for the dealers.


Check out the $226 dealer prep for doing what the factory paid them an allowance off their dealer invoice cost of the car to do anyway - clean off the cosmoline & wash/vacuum the cars for sale!

Now that & stealing the alloy spares for sale were the big profit makers & usually more than the dealer profit on the car in those days!

The original invoices and window stickers that were posted were very interesting.

Suggestion: make a new sticky in the historical section for people to post them.

That is a good idea Cuda. I will also send to Jeff Bolsby for his site.

I love how simple the paper work was back then.

Times were simpler back then I remember when I went to Jr College my Social Security number was my student ID number ! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)

Great idea, but I think that Pat Garvey has to do that for O&H Forum as the "Mod".

Steve that is so cool having those documents. The old paperwork is neat. Simpler times, a look back in commerce history. Awesome stuff.

Yeah, it's always fun to have the original paperwork. Excellent find for your car!

The radio price is correct. It was $150 in mine.
[$150 in 1974 = $710.90 in 2014 dollars.]

And it's one of them elusive Porche cars too!

Yup ... Porche ....

My Dad's running joke when he was still alive, was to ask if I still had my "Front Porch" or "Back Porch" in the garage or driving/running! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

He liked it how it handled & rode when he rode with me on a couple of occasions when he was out in CA for business back in the 70's - even if he drove a big Olds Boat & loved it's "magic carpet ride"!
