Automotive literature is immensely collectible. So much so, that there have been many eBay auctions of late pertaining to Indian car brochures. Here are a few of them I recently came across.

Premier booklets from the 80s.

Premier Dodge trucks.

great work Karl. love to see more of the old brochures and collectibles. they sure have become collector peices and many people are paying hefty sums for them. i used to have some have to start hunting for them.

GREAT thread, Karl! I just love going over classic ad/promo material. And when it has to do with cars... :)

Great pictures Karlos! :)

I remember some of the Dodge and GM brochures used in my marketing classes. The product focus was so great those days that there used to be no masala in the advertisements. Some of the best advertisements from those times! :thumbs up

Some of the configurations the Standard 20 Van was available in.

Standard Gazel and Herald Mark 3.

WOW!!!! Great collection karlos!!!! Thanks a lot for sharing!! Eagerly awaiting more......

Any classic ad scans pertaining to the Indian automotive industry are welcome......

No no, not weird. I remember this used to be called the Deluxe BU. And then people would fit a Super King AC in it. Way cool then...

And the car? It was built like a tank!
