Vintage Photos

I just came across this photo and posted it in another thread but it got me to wondering how many people have 'vintage' photos of our cars?

Vintage meaning taken in the day... of course photos of cars sitting on a dealership lot would be great but that might be asking too much. :D

Here's a 1983 TC taken in 1984.

Feel free to share anything you have.
