"Wide Track" posters
Is anyone familiar with a set of posters put out by Pontiac in the mid-60s that magazine readers could send for. I believe they were "Wide Track" posters. How many in a set, what size are these, what cars and what value they might have? thanks

IIRC they ran 1965-1968
I have seen them for '65-'68.
I have a full set of '66 in the original mailing tube and several '67-'68 loose. They make great garage art

Yes, I believe those are it. I have never seen the ad for these in old magazines. Thanks

Found these this morning while looking in my files for something else.
I have the '65 versions. Unfortunately they've been on display since new so they are getting pretty beat by now. K

Cool I've never seen the '65 Ad before.
Being a collector of all things OHC 6 this is one of my Favorite Wide Track Posters;

What is the value of a set of these posters? I have a complete 1969 set that includes all the posters, school book cover and "The Judge" decal. Its still in the original shipping tube from Wide Track.

Cool, I have never seen a set for '69 and so I figured it ended in '68.
A full set with all the bells & whistles IMO would easily start at $100 and go up from there depending on condition, they don't come up everyday. Would love to see yours if you could/would be able to post them. Cheers

I've got the full set for 68 in the basement - they used to be hung together but now there's a hood in the middle and one is on the wall at the base of the stairs.

"Wide Track" posters
Keep them coming guys. I love the basement photos. We downsized a few years ago and bought a house without a basement, didn't think I'd miss it but the garage just doesn't hold everything and this time of the year it would be nice to enjoy our collectibles when it's still cold. Thanks for your input.
