We've toyed with the idea of an automotive Wiki here for a number of years.  Due to the way this website software works, I don't think a full reference wikipedia is feasable.

However, what do you think about an automotive advertising wiki/database to collect current and vintage material?  Let me know in the poll.  If you have any specific comments or suggestions on it, sound off below. 

I think it would be a valuable reference. I've looked online at times for certain ads and have been surprised at how sparse such is online.
Would take a long while to eclipse my stash of 6500 ads tho. ;)

Your stash is what I have my eye on digitizing....

I made a prototype database here https://www.cheersandgears.com/adwiki/

This is built using the same article software we use for our front page, but it is its own database.   However, it is set up in such a way that any registered member can edit any entry.   So far I only have the GM brands in there.
