Hurst/Olds related paperwork

[ebayalias]

This should be a useful post for H/O owners. There is a lot of stuff from the factory that came with a H/O, or was used to promote it. I figured this would be a good place to list it all. I am not an expert on this, and my list is by no means complete. I look forward to seeing what items I need to locate.

All years. The brand of tire may be specific to a H/O, so the supplement from the manufacturer would qualify

1973
The Hurst specific owners manual for a 73 lists the H/O on page 61 as it was the only model to use the tire size it came with.

The consumer information booklet is also Hurst specific as it lists the G60 tires. Non Hurst books do not cover that size.

There is a special care booklet that came with the H/O, approx 4"X8". It covers the Hurst options.

There is an option sheet (promo?) that unfolds into a large wall poster. "For the Man in Motion"


1974

8X12 promo pamphlet covering H/O options.

H/O Indy 500 Pace car press release.

Indy program has a nice centerfold.

Hurst service information sheet.

White H/O Indy keychain given to owners

The Indy 500 telephone directory has a graphic of the H/O on the cover.


1975

There is a consumers information booklet for the H/O sold with the car. It supplements the standard one also given.

There is a special instructions manual given that covers H/O specific items and options.

My 74 still had its G70-14 Goodyear Polyglas bias belted spare when I bought it. It unfortunately disintegrated. Looked in the trunk a couple years back and the tread had split off it. Meh.


1974

8X12 promo pamphlet covering H/O options. Got it.

H/O Indy 500 Pace car press release. Got it.

Indy program has a nice centerfold. Got it.

Hurst service information sheet. Got it.

White H/O Indy keychain given to owners Got it- paid too much for it, but not as much as one well-known vendor wanted for one in worse shape than mine

The Indy 500 telephone directory has a graphic of the H/O on the cover. Got it.





The was also a nice double-page centerfold ad in most of the May 74 car enthusiast magazines. Got that too. It was a bear to frame as the car and the background are white and had to "experiment" with mat colors to get it to "pop" instead of wash out.

The 77 Delta PC ad was about as bad because of all the colors in it. Couldn't get too wild with matting. I count myself lucky the local Hobby Lobby has two killer framers who have an unerring sense of color.

[75 W-30 H/O]

I picked up an 8 1/2 x 11 75 H/O service info sheet at the Mecum auction. I'm sure it's a reprint but still cool to have, especially for 7 bucks.

[W451973]

I have these from my 75 H/O. What do you think this stuff is worth ?

[W451973]

And these.

[W451973]

And also these. I actually have the whole press kit with all the pics and info. The broadcast sheet (or build sheet if you want to call it that) does not belong to this car but was in the packet. And the new order sheet. And a buissiness card from the dealer it came from.

[W451973]

And this from my 74 H/O. I had all the 73 stuff but I sold it because I needed the money. :(

[1974W30]

Adding a few others, 74 H/O order sheet and Jan 1974 Oldsmobile zone manager letter for the H/O

[1974W30]

Page 3 of the zone letter and two 1974 Oldsmobile service guild releases that mention the 74 H/O

Would you mind posting some pics of your paper work ? And some pics of the car ?

Hi I live up in Ottawa Ontario and visit Syracuse several times a year. Does this parts car have the interior and console? I have a 73 cutlass that I have owned for 29 years and have been adding 442 options along the way.
