*Missing some Auto Club Maps, can you help?: IF they exist, I would love to have (or get your scans of): 1970, 1976, 1977, 1981, 1986, 1993, 1999. Plus, any editions from 1935 to 1954; Also, a better 1972 map than I have, would be nice. Feel free to private message or email me (info@vivabaja.com) if you have any of these maps and would be willing to loan them so I can scan and return, you scan them, or send them to me (maybe for an exchange or discount on one of my Baja books at www.old missions.com?). Thank you!
