Steve, After reading what happened to the original paper work of the 1968 Z/28 convertible. Please tell me that those were copies you had around your car.

Oh yeah. I've been using laminated color copies for years. I cant comprehend bringing originals to a car show, not just based on the theft loss possibility but the simple Ultra Violet light damage that sunlight causes. You see Mopar guys with their original broadcast sheets in direct sunlight taped to the underside of their windshields. It only takes a few hours of direct UV light to start those original color print broadcast sheets down the irreversible path of degradation. That guy with the original paint 71 Challenger R/T had two of his factory broadcast sheets sitting right on the dash the whole day. I could swear they were a lot lighter at the end of the day than they were at 7:00 am.

NEVER EVER BRING ORIGINAL DOCS TO A CARSHOW. Store them in a fireproof safe or the safe deposit box at the bank.
