I don't really think so anymore since everything is online.
I have some old JC Whitney, Bugpack and West Coast Metric catalogs from the 90's that I keep for nostalgia.

I don't know of any.

Wolfsburg West and West Coast Metric used to but as far as I know, both have stopped.

I did a Wolfsburg West search and found a page on their site that said "We are no longer printing a catalog"

I also still have my old Rocky Mountain Motorworks catalog; I liked dealing with them, and they used real part numbers. Once they were acquired by Mid-America, I never dealt with those guys.

I just got a new West Coast Metric paper catalog free with my order. You can also get one from Sewfine. That one came hand addressed. Wink

I’ve seen Empi from the recent past so maybe they still put it out. But no pricing and if you’re limiting yourself to only buying from printed catalogs then you are severely limiting your ability to get quality parts. But if it’s just to dream then ok I get it.

You may be able to find one from Pacific Parts International, but I’m not certain if that’s only for dealers. I have often joked that when I get married that their catalog is what I’ll swear on rather than the bible.
