Paper
Sometimes it seemed back then The General was more interested in producing paper than vehicles. There was always a blizzard of the stuff. Get a form one week and a couple of weeks later it was superseded by another, and another, and another. Salesman order books always had blank lines to write in changes and cost increases, cause they just kept coming.
The vast majority of it just got tossed, and even if put in a file dealers routinely sent it all to a landfill every five years or so, needing the room for more paper to come. Attached are Zone announcements for the L35 and Z28 availability in January 1967. The point now would be to recognize how rare the old docs are today, especially when directly relating to a specific car.
