Motor Trend Car of the Year magazine cover and printed sheet displayed under a car-show trunk lid.

AI caption · Photo 1790 of 5000

This is a photograph taken at a car show showing two pieces of period literature displayed in clear plastic sleeves hung from the underside of an open hood or deck lid of a cream/pale yellow classic car. The left document is a typewritten Ford press release or letter on Ford (Lincoln-Mercury) letterhead; its body text is too small to read in this photo, though it appears to be dated around September 1966. The right document is a Motor Trend magazine cover for the "Annual Awards Issue," announcing "MT Selects Car of the Year" with cover lines reading "Why it won: the story behind its development, '67 styling innovations, racing program." The cover photograph shows the car's dashboard and front grille. Together these items document the Motor Trend Car of the Year award for the 1967 model year and associated Ford/Lincoln-Mercury press material. A reader can learn that the displayed vehicle (or its model line) was Motor Trend's Car of the Year for 1967, but no fuse data, wiring information, part numbers, or specifications are legible or present in this image.
