I see you won it. Yes, I know some about it. It was made by AHA, which stood for Andrew. A. Hotton, foremerly of the USA (Michigan) who moved operations to Canada. He made many beautuful cars based upon Ford products. His most beautiful was the Lincoln Continential Convertible Coupes of 1975 thru 1979. He also made some Ford LTD 8" stretch mini limos, many many Lincoln Continential Limos, These Capri Converts, and some based upon the Mustang body as well. Neither of them were good sellers. I do have the earlier brochure on the 1979 to 1982 Capri Convertible that he made, with an alternative style roof, that was different than this one, but also black & white print. I wish I could see to read that one you got.

I will scan it so it is legible as soon as I get it.

If you want a copy...It was in a magazine so I think it should be somewhat easy to track down another.

'Ya, a scan would be appreciated. He made very very few of those and then changed the roof, to a very ugly one. The "C" pillar was way to big and blocked out, so he put an "opera" window in the middle of that big "C" pillar and filled it with a piece of round convertible window plastic. It just looked so weird. That's the one in the folder that I have, with the C-Pillar Opera Window.
