Default 1964-1965 Tempest Reference Library

I`ve started this so others can share materials they have found for the early intro days of the 64-65 Tempest. I am certain for those wanting to gather more info on these cars that posting here will help us.
There is a lot of material out there including strictly advertising or good Road Test articles and my favorite, significant original pictures to research how it was.
If you have original Pontiac Parts catalogs, chassis manuals, paint chip info, Inspector Guide, loose advertising, model car promotion, flash news or any pictures of the above covers, please submit here. Just pictures of these materials help others locate and verify correct items for there own collections. I do not have much 1965 materials or magazine articles so help is needed here.
I will kick us off with what I have found to date. Following the magazine I will add the review symbol:
RT= road test
GI= general intro of car
+= good usable resto pictures
MA= magazine ad included
BC=Bob Cat building
