Hi 69Mach351w,

Do you have a guess?  Are the  parts and accessories the same or are some missing from one catalog to the other?  That might help establish which came first, especially if P & A is missing, maybe discontinued and they made a new catalog.  Or they added a new P & A not previously offered before.

Cory,the gold catalog is the 67 supplement and the blue one is the later 68/69 one . You can tell by what is inside. For example the gold one has a Jan 1 1967 price sheet for it besides the parts listed are not later then 67 items . The blue one has not only 68 parts but also 69 Shelby wheels in it.

Just to clarify the gold one is a folder which held catalog individual loose leaf sheets . It was also used to hold 66 catalog informational sheets too. The blue one had the sheets inside bound to the cover  and not loose like the other year supplement although they were loose leaf hole punched to put into a binder .

Hi Bob,

Thanks.  I think you proved my point.  That there are content differences that can help determine the time period.  Good job.

Stay well
