Default Factory Literature for '79 10th Anniv or '80-81 Pace Cars?

While thumbing though some factory sales literature from '79-81 (including Car Distribution and Sales Information Bulletins), I noticed I have no documentation (leaflets, bulletins, sales sheets) supporting the '79 10th Anniv T/A or either '80-81 Pace Car.

I recall seeing a '79 Dealer Album containing several sheets on the '79 10th Anniv T/A and that's something i don't have. Any fellow hobbyists have such literature for any of the three models?

I'm pretty sutre I've got the original Pontiac introduction press releases stashed away here somewhere on the 10th Anny & 80 Indy.

I'm looking for the original press release on the Y88.

I'm pretty sure I have the '78 Y88 release. I seem to recall that it's inconjunction with the Redbird. I'll have to look tonight and report back.

I think I have a copy of the Y88 press release in the PHS packet for my car. When I get home I'll look through it.

Rocky,

A few of those items are unique for the 1980 Pace Car and not commonly distributed. I would love to see some "on the track" photos at the Daytona 500 but I have never come across any of those.

Default 80 Indy Press Releases

Here are the 2 1980 Indy Press Releases. As for the 81 PC information, I have not found much out there relating to the 81 Pace Car.
