What You Will Find Here

Road Tests are a bonafide window into how a car actually performed and how journalists viewed it. We may think a certain car was really great, but these road tests might tell otherwise. They are an excellent source.

Click HERE to sample this test of a 1965 Oldsmobile 442.

Print Advertising helps understand how cars were marketed and sold at the time. Advertisements often describe the most popular models which were the “halo cars” that the factory used to draw customers.

Original factory printed brochures are a window into the past. They describe available models, colors, engines, options and the like.

Many don’t know this, but the US manufactures submitted detailed specifications on each and every model they made to the American Automobile Manufacturers Association. They go into great detail and are invaluable in determining what was appropriate for a specific car.

Click HERE for this sample specific to the 1968 Chevelle 396 CID 375 HP V-8.

We’re not satisfied with just shoving documents in our Library. We take this information and build articles that detail specifications and data on engines, car models and the like.

Click HERE to view all the engine specifications for the Ford “FE” big block, including the famous 427!

When we speak of “collation”, there’s nothing better than taking all we find and putting it on a web page – by Brand, Make, and Model. We call these pages “Fact Sheets” and you’ll call them “GOLD”.

This section is devoted to the cars owned by Over-Drive-Magazine.com readers and contributors.
