At the risk of sounding dumb, can I take my Eminger invoice to a place like Kinko's to make a good color copy for display purposes? I don't want to make an elaborate display board for shows, but I would like a small story board to explain what the car is when I walk away from it (which I do at shows - I prefer to look at other cars than hang around mine).

I kinda did the same thing with my buildsheets and other docs. I scanned them and made color copies for display. I'm going to keep everything small enough to fit on the dash, so if I'm away I can lock up the car and it wont be blowing around and hitting others' cars.

good news......maybe
Marti charged me yesterday for the Eminger invoice ordered 3 days ago. They told me they would only bill my card if the document was located.
UPDATE at 12:30 PM. wife just sent a text to tell me it arrived in the mail today ! The big question now is will this document tell me who used the car? This car is missing the door Vin label so the DSO is unknown. It should be on the Eminger invoice. The car was a solid color so no special paint information and only one buc tag. The information I was given by past owners is the car was a WSP unmarked. The car fax shows the car lived it's entire life in Washington after being taken out of service. If the DSO is the same as the other 84 that is really going to throw a wrench in the works as it was "allegedly" an Oregon State Police unit. This blue car was originally shipped to the same dealer as the OSP car (i already have that info). I am contemplating selling one of the 84 cars but I am doing a little research first. I am going to order the Eminger invoice on the other 84 also, then decide which direction I am going in. I like the car because it is originally dark blue. The next couple of days should be interesting....... UPDATE: Well at 1:30 today i couldn't stand it any longer. I called the wife and she opened the envelope. Turns out I got some pretty good news. The DSO is the same as the 84 white car. 74-0291. The invoice says "State of Oregon" then lists all the options which are the exact same as the white car except for the blue paint which is also listed on the invoice. So it is apparent I have two Oregon cars, consecutive VIN numbers, one marked and one unmarked. This kinda stuff is why I enjoy this hobby guys !! I will scan and post the invoice this evening.

here it is
Here is the invoice. Good stuff if your trying to confirm the origin and use of the car. It looks like it was order number 1074-172E Placed 12/22/83 by the "State of OR". Pretty well equipped too.

Not yet. It is hit or miss on them having them anyway. Some people are being told they are not available. This was the most important one for me but I hope to get them all eventually. I will probably order the other 84 next week.
