PHS, Really?
There must be some mistake. 65 dollars sent for a few generic pages of production numbers and press release info, incorrectly highlighted option codes and a membership application received? Only thing of value is a single piece of paper, the broadcast sheet. Not so much as a press release photo anymore? What has happened to PHS???

Its real value is if you have a very rare car you are wanting to sell as factory r/a I, II III IV SD, HO, ect. Or if you just want know how your car was new.

BIG LET DOWN
I too sent in recently and have not done so in years, Not impressed with the lack of effort needed/used to put so little together.
I don't care about pictures and all the Press fluff but at least give us better quality print/paper. Really lost its value to me as well.

We are spoiled and this thread is evidence of that.
Imagine owning a car for 20 years only to show up at a cruise night and have somebody tell you it wasn't what you thought it was and you have no way to prove it? That 1 sheet is worth 10 times what we pay.

Am I missing something ? I have been getting PHS since its inception. The build sheet was always the part I ordered it for. Of course back in those days it was $35. Was there other important information apart from that? As an FYI, never buy a car based on the PHS provided by the owner. I have seen some excellent faked sheets with options added. Always get your own. I'm not sure how PHS could buy a car out from someone if you sent in the VIN.

The codes from PHS are wrong for the Kansas City Built cars.
John V has mentioned this several times in posts. I knew this many years ago. That being said, their is still some value with a PHS document, I suppose. Course you can't just give the PHS document to the next owner as everyone says "order a new one, as your copy may have been tampered with." What a sweet deal that is for PHS. $65.00 I guess I will keep my copy of the info I received from the "Pontiac Lady" (years ago), that had the right code info for my KC cars. Tom Vaught
