It's everything.
Each issue talks about the Chevrolet vehicles,usually what's new that particular year/month.
Also features ads for Parts & Accessories.
They also have articles/pictures about world news,celebrities and visit foreign places too.It could be compared to a National Geographic or LIFE magazine in that sense.
The Photograhers in "Friends" were some of the best at that time.Many were getting their feet wet,and are more well know in their own right today.
It's all done very well and intellectually.
