Stock# 81FA...Back in the days when all the new cars came out in the fall, the dealers had to be ready for the big event--Introduction Day!

In order to have the showroom and grounds ready, the dealers had to do their homework way ahead of time.

They received an announcement materials package in the summer. They ordered the promotional material that they wanted or could afford and hoped that everything arrived in time for the big introduction day.

Offered here is just such an announcement materials stapled catalog--81 Ford Announcement/Merchandising Materials. This item measures 9 by 12 inches, is made of heavy stock and opens calendar style/ contains 30 pages/ features information regarding Escort and Granada launch package, update materials for Thunderbird and Mustang, Fairmont and truck update materials, overlay tape stripe booklet, dealer stands, color and upholstery books, service department programs, goodwill materials, contest materials and outdoor theme materials plus comprehensive order form/ lots of eye candy in here for serious collectors/ very good condition.

Tight security regarding new products sometimes caused announcement books to picture similar items or products used in the previous model year as well as sketches to aid the dealer in visualization of items to be ordered.

Notes: "Mirror" image of Mercury item on lower portion of this page.

This item was never used as it was sent to Jim Truitt, deceased, who was a graphic designer who probably designed portions of this announcement material. Since most were sent to dealers, they were used. This might be the one and only one of these that was never used...$27.95.      Shipping is $4.95. Insurance is $1.95.
