Need "Different" type of help

My name is steve and I am a fellow maxima owner. I am also a graphic design major and I was assigned a timeline as my current project. Of course I chose the life of the Maxima from its 810 roots in 1981-present. I was wondering if I could get some questions answer and maybe some advice.

1. what were the ad campaigns for nissan for each generation 1-6 (ex: nissan SHIFT_)
2. Where can I get some good pictures of the first and second generation maximas in hi-res. (I need shots such as side shots, front shot, rear shot, interior, and wheels (I currently have 3-6 generations done, i need 1 and 2)

I really collected alot of info and now i just need images and info on the ad campaigns. Any help is greatly appreciated. I will gladly post the final product if i can figure out how to get it on the web.

Thanks in advance
-Steve

Try also posting this in GEN 1 and 2 area, since that is what you are lacking, and those guys are probably the most knowledgeable of the original Maximas. I'm too young and don't remember any ads from the 80s or have any magazines from that time frame.

Well the 3rd Gen maxima were advertised as 4DSC (four door sports car).
Also here is some pics of Gen 1 and 2 in high resolution.

Like SHIFT_, nissan's ad campaigns are usually company wide than for a specific car. Another notable campaign was the Enjoy The Ride campaign (during 4th gen's). They did have a truck only campaign "Dogs looooove Trucks" but the actor for that campaign also did some of the Enjoy The Ride campaign. Not sure what other ones there were, I'm sure there were a bunch.
