I still have mine - that was THE poster to have back in the day. Mine's hanging up in my high school autoshop.
Dr Oldsmobile add from Hot Rod Magazine. It featured a 1970 442 and Dr Olds, Elephant Engine Ernie,Shifty Sydney, Wind Tunnel Waldo and Hy Spy. They were like rejects from the Munsters or the Adams Family. I also have a poster of a BMW M1 in my garage
My favorite was a Porsche factory poster that I acquired while working at Brumos Porsche as a lot gopher in 1987. The poster celebrated the 1987 win at the 24 hours of Daytona. It was a gorgeous profile shot of the Lowenbrau 962, at speed, with the sun rising behind it and the caption read:
"On January 16 (I think), 1987, the sun rose in the east, day followed night and Porsche won Daytona"
I had the side profile shots. White Countach and Red 308GTB. I just let them go maybe 2 years ago.
The only car poster I ever had hanging in my room (remember - I am from Georgia...) :
The funny part is it crashes and rolls upon landing. 
I had two on my wall. One was a red Lambo Countach against a black background, much like that Alpine poster previously posted. The other was a picture of a red 911 Turbo parked on a golf course of all places. I still have them, and they are going up in my garage, whenever I get one of those.
I had a door poster of a countach, a silver Vector W12 and many italian cars.
I had a poster that showed side profiles of all Porsche models since inception, with a short summery of their respective drivetrains under each car. 
Maybe not a poster, but I have one of those die cast models of a Shelby Cobra. I've had it for most of my life, and it is one of the first things to get a place of honor whenever I move. Usually sits right next to, or on top of my computer monitor.

I have one like that, but it is all of their RACING cars...

One of the guys on the mye28 board has reproduced that poster. He's apparently out of them right now but is planning on another run sometime in the near future. http://www.mye28.com/viewtopic.php?t=67597
Semi-NSFW stuff here, in a totally 80's sort of way:

I guess I was the only one who thought Countach's were terribly ugly and tacky in the '80's? They just never did anything for me.

You're not the only one. I also (ducks) think Testarossas are berkeleying hideous. Even the non-kit-cars look like kit cars.
Mine was a photo that my Dad took of Denny Hulme at Elkhart Lake in 68 or 69. He had it blown up to 4' by 6'. B&W, a truly beautiful photo. I wish I still had it. I left it with him when I joined the Army and it got ruined in a flood.
Not hotlinked, either.

The original version of the car wasn't bad at all, but all the add on flares and and spoilers and things that were added to the car each year were tacky. The worst was one year (around 1981, maybe?) where to meet US bumper regulations they ended up putting a reinforced ironing board on the nose of the car.

While my garage could certainly use more class, I like to abuse her like the filthy whore she is...which is why I'm seriously eyeballing some of those low-brow posters featuring olivia newton john style legwarmer/thong combo clad hoes from pelican.
