OK, so I was flipping through some old car magazines the other night and came across a couple old advertisements that had Fieros in them. That got me wondering if anybody had done a thread on these yet so I searched under every conceivable topic and came up empty-handed. The closest I got was one thread on Fieros in Movies, and another on Fieros in Commercials. Both of these covered video though, not still pics. So, at the risk of starting something that's already been done, I offer this thread as a repository for pictures of Fiero's in Advertisements. I'll open 'er up with a bunch I've come across over the years. They're all resized in an attempt to get them to display on PFF, so if anybody wants to have a closer look at some in higher resolution, just PM me with your email address and I'll send you the better copy. I invite everyone to post their own findings as well... just add a caption saying where you found it. Enjoy!

Sherwin-Williams paint used a Fiero in one of their paint brochures within the last 10 years, sorry, no pic to post, if I can find the literature I will scan it and e-mail it to you.
I asked about the advertisement in another thread here and had a few awesome responses.
Enjoy!

Ok, so I was bored this morning I fired up Photoshop and "re-created" the poster. The only High-Resolution I could find of Fiero from this angle, was one of Tyler's Toy, and just "painted" it red. The major drawback is that the rims are not stock. Other than that, I think it came out pretty good.
It was time consuming to say the least! Trying to find the correct fonts, as well as all of the logo's for GM, the seat belt logo, and the Pontiac Logo. The most time consuming part is I could not find the "Pontiac" logo in the top right ANYWHERE, except on the original posters above. I had to fix that one almost pixel by pixel.
Hopefully someone will find it of use.
Here is the "forum friendly version"

Just for the heck of it, I uploaded a version of Tyler's Toy with the REAL paint job
Can anybody get me a better picture of the gold SE?I want to make a poster to display at car shows and need a better quality picture.Also it is the fourth picture down from Bloozberry's post
It's coming... it's just taking me a little longer to locate the magazine it was in... you know how it is... you start looking through the old mags and get caught up reading the interesting articles and it ends up taking you three times longer than you thought?

I know what you mean I've got a huge stack of old magazines from the 80's and early 90's
