wow ..I got the..1989 Lexus Press Kit!!!
OMG. This thing just SCREAMS history!
I'll try to upload some pics of it and I haven't even finished reading through it yet..
It has all the hand typed(looks to be hand typed) letters sent out to some of the dealers and a small amount of the press. All tech specs for the LS and the ES250 (the ES250 new does the 0-60 in what my LS does now LOL). There is also a comparison chart to the competing BMW, MB, and Jag cars. Also, technical and color photos, transparencies, corporate and delaer news, PICTURES of the creators, and a dealer list.
It basically talks about the development of the car and some technical stuff like how the driveshaft is laid completely straight to reduce vibration and how the transmission and clutch were created using a camera to make sure gear teeth lined up correctly...that's just a couple of the things..The papers are dated 06-08-1989. ;;-)
The bare LS400 (like mine) was offered at $35,000 in late 1989. The ES250 (which this book also has a ton of info on) was sold at $21,050. I'll upload some stuff later!
