Boy, he's really put a lot of work into it. Very cool.
He has the factory brochure for my old 1980 Mazda 626, I still miss that car.

Whether you are looking for the paint code for a specific color offered on the Acura Legend, an original brochure for a Toyota MR2, or some old-school commercials for the Datsun 510, the Import Archive has it all.
What, exactly, is the Import Archive? It’s the personal project of Darren Zayman that archives “US-market Japanese automobilia,” covering virtually every Japanese car sold in North America from 1958-2018.
This includes paint codes, television commercials, scans of dealership brochures (viewable for a small donation) and even original illustrations made by Zayman.
What’s the end goal for this ambitious project? It’s put simply on the website’s “about me” page: “My goal is to scan and share EVERY promotional sales brochure that was ever released through dealerships or mailed out to potential owners.”
So far, more than 93,000 pages of materials have been scanned.

I'm in love with this. Also:
Wow, he has the sales brochure for my old '82 Accord.
Hey all! I just stumbled onto this article. I'm the loopy idiot who is trying to complete this project. Why? Hell if I know. I was bored, I guess. Thanks for the promo!
