Nice. Is there one for 1964?

I don’t have one, but I’ll look around.

Very cool! I have an old iPd catalog from the mid 90s, but this is probably way more rare!

Any chance you'd want to photograph its pages?

Yeah, I wouldn’t mind! I’ll pull it out tomorrow and take some pics.

Here are some pics of the catalog... it's late 90s it turns out! Fall '98 to winter '99 to be exact. Pretty cool to see the stuff that iPd carried the year I was born... now here I am with a collection of Volvos!

I didn't take a picture of every page (left out some less interesting stuff... order forms, oil filters, etc.) but it was pretty cool to see that iPd made sway bars for RVs!

Yeah, I remember those! I had those clear headlight covers on my 240. So aero.

(Full disclosure - I still have copies of 80s Centerline Alfa Romeo parts catalogs from Boulder CO)

I've seen a couple sets of those headlight covers in junkyards, but there's always at least one that's damaged (if not both). They're usually all broken.

We loved that car.
