Original 1972 Chevrolet Vega dealer sales catalog — 16 pages, full color, complete and unmarked inside.
This is the real dealership handout, not a reprint or reproduction. Printed January 1972 by the Chevrolet Motor Division, General Motors Corporation, with the factory print code 1619 R-1 on the lower right of the rear cover.
What's inside:
•Front cover: "The Little Car That Does Everything Well." with the Vega coupe in silver blue
•Two-page opener, "It Was a Very Good Year," with Lordstown assembly line photos, the Van Buskirk testimonial, and Motor Trend / Car and Driver quotes
•"Our Sedan" — exterior and interior photo spreads, 80 and 90 hp engine details, transmission choices
•"What You Get Without Asking" — full cutaway chassis illustration with the complete standard equipment list
•Coupe, hatchback, Kammback wagon and Panel Express truck pages
•GT package, color and trim selections, interior and exterior groups, options and accessories
•Rear cover: "Got A Pencil?" dealer order checklist with all four body styles, engines, transmissions, 10 colors and popular extras pictured
The dealer imprint: The front cover carries a period rubber stamp from Sorensen Chevrolet, Inc., 431 S. Genesee St., Waukegan, Illinois 60085, Phone DE6 4300. That's a genuine 1972 dealership imprint in pink ink — great provenance if you own a car sold new in the Chicago / Waukegan area, and it dates the piece to the showroom floor.
Condition: Complete 16-page catalog with all pages present, no writing, no tears, no missing pages, and no water damage. The interior is bright and clean with strong color and no mustiness. The covers show light handling: minor edge and corner wear, light surface soiling, a soft crease near the upper spine on the front, and some scattered age spotting and foxing on the rear cover, which is the main condition flaw. The dealer stamp is clear and legible. Please review the photos carefully — the item pictured is the item you will receive.
Ships flat, sandwiched between two pieces of rigid cardboard inside a stay-flat mailer marked Do Not Bend. Combined shipping available on multiple brochure purchases.
