Yep. Now people take pictures of their lunch. Of the 6 or 7 really cool (to me) cars that I had and restored I probably have 10 pictures in total that have survived the decades. Even then most of those were of something else and the car just happens to be in the background.

There were other options. There was this thing called a "library" that had pretty much every repair manual you could ask for that you could borrow for free.
Unless of course some jerk borrowed it and never returned it.
