My dad gave me this poster of Pee Wee Gleason on an FJ100 recently and today I finally scanned it in at work.  I did a 600dpi scan with maximum quality.  The original file is 182mb and is about 13500x18000 pixels.  I've looked around for the poster online but my house is the only place I've found it.  Enjoy

Maybe with Pee Wee on it!  Really shows what the marketing focus was back in the day.  A tenth of a second in the quarter mile was a big deal even though the average rider wouldn't come close to those numbers.

It's interesting to note that in an era of wildly exaggerated claims, the FJ's claimed 0-100kph time of 2.9 secs was not only equalled but bettered a few times while doing the press release rounds.

That's a great looking poster.
