Demand for affordable convertibles was high in the early '90s and lots of manufacturers scrambled to join in. This Belgian brochure called the new 1.3-litre Suzuki Swift cabriolet 'a little jewel'. GM also sold the model in North America as the Geo Metro. #carbrochure #Suzuki
Chrysler's run as one of Australia's 'big three' automakers began in 1962 with the assembly of the Valiant, a US-designed 'compact' which gradually became more and more Australian. The 1966 VC series is shown in this brochure, with new squared-off styling. #carbrochure #Chrysler
VXR was Vauxhall's high performance sub-brand between 2004 and its demise in 2017, the equivalent of OPC over at Opel. In its heyday the VXR magic was extended to some unlikely vehicles, including the 144mph Zafira VXR, hailed as the fastest MPV ever made. #carbrochure #Vauxhall

I want Gamefreak to bring out Thunder God Raichu (Gorochu). Like, the concept art that fan did of it was so fucking cool. I want it. Make it a regional form at least
A cancelled Game Boy game from SOFEL. Seen here as Monster Master in this 1990 SOFEL brochure. It's unknown how much of this game was localized for the west before its release was cancelled. Our book on Kickstarter will feature a section on cancelled games https://t.co/XNozsYmpLT
Although antiquated underneath, the Ariette had a modern body by noted industrial designer Philippe Charbonneaux. The range included an estate car, notable for its 500kg carrying capacity, plus a van and truck. This minimalist brochure seemingly had nothing to say about the car.
Occasionally I feel the need to share something really obscure, so here's an early-'50s brochure on the Rosengart Ariette. Made in Paris, it used an ancient 747cc engine based on that of the 1920s Austin 7, which Rosengart had built under licence pre-WW2. #carbrochure #Rosengart

Alongside these advanced models, Jowett also kept its traditional Bradford van range in production after WW2: this is a 1952 brochure. Sadly the writing would soon be on the wall for the plucky independent company, and a multitude of issues led to voluntary liquidation in 1955.

The Frenchness is turned up to full notch in this '70s brochure on the Renault light commercial vehicle range featuring the 4 van as well as the main subject of this post, its larger 1289cc Estafette stablemate, shown in some delightfully quirky images. #carbrochure #Renault
The line-drawn illustrations show the Wartburg was aesthetically the match of many western 1.0-litre models of the day, inside and out. Ironically the brochure is from just after the Berlin Wall went up, increasing the isolation of the DDR and heightening east-west tensions.
While the later, square-cut 353 is the archetypal Wartburg, East Germany's most exported marque had an earlier incarnation, the rather stylish 311, made from 1956. This Belgian brochure features the 1000R and better-equipped President saloons. #carbrochure #DDR #Wartburg
This 1972 brochure marked the end of an era for Vauxhall, as it would be the last year for both the elderly flagship Viscount/Cresta saloons, as well as the FD series range. The latter included the 3.3-litre Ventora as well as the sporting 2-litre VX4/90. #carbrochure #Vauxhall
@Belinda34106799 I remember it well. The artwork reminds me of the style of this Citroën 2CV brochure from a couple of years later.
This 1986 UK brochure called the 5 GT Turbo 'the ultimate in Performance, Roadholding and Safety' and Renault was very proud of the turbocharged engine's capabilities and economy. Inside the car aimed to beat rival hot hatches with an impressive instrument display.
