I've been looking off and on for automotive flash cards, I usually buy some at automotive museums but they don't all match up size and style. Anyone ever seen any?

There were some when I was younger (80's I think) that came in sheets and you popped out but I'm not finding anything current.

Sorry, more of a brand and style type card. I.e.

Sunbeam Imp The Imp was made from X-X and was also marketed in different markets as a Chrysler.

Ferrari F40 The F40 was made from X-X, it was powered by a twin turbocharged 4litre v8 and was notable for being a very raw street car.

Im trying to remember the ones I've seen but it would be like pre-wiki short car facts. Make sense?

Oh, I actually have some of those. I had them in a baseball card organizer. I'm not really sure if they survived the move but I'll look for them.

I'm not familiar with automotive flash cards but this is something I would have liked as a kid. As it was, as a child I could identify make, model, year of most cars just from the tail lights.

Good job; raise `em right!

sports card size would be best but all the ones I've seen were larger, 3x5 or larger.

I looked where I thought they might be but came up empty. I'll ask the wife if she might know, but a lot of stuff didn't make the move unfortunately. Mine were baseball card size, with a picture on the front and a small fact sheet on the back. There was a lot of supercars like the Vector W8, the obligatory Ferrari and Lamborghini models of the time, Lancia, and some other models.

I use to get the binder style info sheets from when my dad worked at a hobby shop. This was when I was kid. I would of loved flash cards. More info though my kids might like that.
