Isuzu 1998 "VehiCROSS - Evolution Unchecked"

Isuzu 1998 "VehiCROSS - Evolution Unchecked" Card Front

This appears to be the first "teaser" dealer promo in the US featuring the VehiCROSS. This is a two-sided promo printed on oversized (8" tall by 12" long) card-stock in full color. Most of the other promotional cards could be easily mailed or included as marketing colateral within an envelope. The images are of a 1999 Ironman edition in white. The other oddity is the lack of Yakima Racks on the Ironman pictured on the card back. Printed on the back is "Introducing the first all-road high-performance sports vehicle. The future of cross-terrain engineering arrives spring 1999." I believe this card to be quite rare. Perhaps this "teaser" card was handed out at Automotive Industry shows?
