Thought I’d supply a little MOC visual overload after seeing those beautiful Pontiacs.
Don't know if I have all their brochures but here's what I have. I bought my first Motor City model in August of 1990 from Gene at their factory in North Hollywood. I use to go to L.A. on business and run by the store and pick up something to bring home on occasion. Looking at these brochures all these years only makes me wish I had bought more! Enjoy!

Curtis; Would you be willing to share with us the average retail price of a new Motor City car back in Aug 1990? Just curious. Thanks.

By early 2000's they had climbed to $275 and $299 (the latter for the '37 Packard & '42 Barrelback)

Thanks! Do you want photo credit and by what name? Are they...
all 8.5 x 11? Any idea when they were produced? if not, don't worry - I am sorry, too many questions!!!

Sure, I'll take photo credit, thanks.. All brochures are 8.5" X 11".
Not sure about the dates they were produced other than the '90's and I guess the early 2000's. If you can find, maybe through Randell Olson, when the newest model was made on each brochure then you would have it.
