I bought some old car magazines this weekend (70's and 80's Road & Track, Motor Trend, etc....)
and I saw some interesting articles and ads showing Fiero's.

Anyways, I got to thinking that it would be nice to share these articles & ads with everyone on the Forum by scanning them and posting them to a special section/area on the Forum. (rather than General Chat) I think many would find it good reading! I ran across one article alone that was a Road & Track long term test on a Fiero with a Quad 4!

I'm thinking the only snafu would be any legal issues of re-posting copyrighted materials from these magazines.
Anyone could technically add to the scanned/pdf library of intersting Fiero articles.
Do you all like this idea? Give me your input... Thanks, Kit

No on Pennock's however, there's a few members who post articles on their websites. Hopefully they'll chime in for you.

Actually, yes there is. It's called the Main Page.

I went to the main page but I'm not seeing where to post to. Also, nobody mentioned whether there will be any copyright issues.

You can't post directly to the main page. You can write your article either as a forum post, or a PM to me and I will convert it to a true article for the main page. As for copyrights, how old are these magazines? If you are worried, I would be more than willing to contact the magazines and ask their permission.

Magazines are from 1988 issues of Road & Track and Car & Driver.
I would prefer to send them to you in pdf Acrobat form.
Can I send attachments through PM's? (I have never tried)

As a mentioned in my original post, my idea was to encourage anyone
(who has interesting/unusual Fiero articles) to post them for all to see
in one convienent spot.

Thanks, Kit

Bloozberry, thanks for the post and archived thread link.
You and I have the same exact idea!
I was bummed though that you already had posted one of my finds, which is the yellow Fiero / General Tire ad.
I do have a neat article on a John Schinella interview and a Quad 4 Fiero Road & Track test.
