vintage auto ads

[tdaaj]

[freaky510]

thats funny ,My father in law an I are going threw some old national geographics and I am pulling out all the old car ads. They are some funny shit.

 

only found 1 Datsun ad so far

I wouldn't say I "collect" them, but when I had my cage done at DGR he gave me about 20 or so laminated Datsun ads that are totally sick. I wonder if I could scan them.. I will try at work this weekend.

I do, and I hang them up in my room :) I've probably torn apart over 30 car mags like motor trend etc from the 70's :)

 

I'm a vintage freak though, collect and fix old record players, furniture, old cars :P old metal signs. I can't get enough of it.

i've got a few datsun ads but i've been going through my pile of 50's mags and collecting ads.

I've got 2 big boxes going all the way back to the Pope Electric Car. I plan on selling off at least half of them in the near future.

 

Z_Rac3r, amonst my many collections I have a bunch of radios and record players. If ya come my way and fix some of mine I'll give you my 1949 cabinet TV/radio/record player (needs work). It doesn't fit our mid century modern decor. We collect that style furniture and anything we can 50s. Collect old cameras, Hot Wheels, model car kits, 50s clothes, real cars, really old car mags, records, and the wife collects martini shakers.

i found some popular science monthly magazines in my stash tonight from the 30's. anything like this worth anything?

Good ads can be worth a lot more than the mag they came from. The Pope ad and others came from a half a mag I found in a pile at a flea market. Paid a quarter for a few mags yet the ad by itself could go for 20 bucks.

:eek:

 

I collect old car mags, have never thrown one away!,

 

I have boxes and boxes, pull them out from time to time and reread them, like the road tests of some of the old cars I have now.

 

Hot Rod, Car and Driver, Road and Track, Car Craft, VW & Porsche to name a few.

 

some of the 70's stuff is wild, I have one issue with IMSA style chevy Monza's huge glass flairs and SBC Cool stuff.

 

an article about guys that raced a section of Mullholland Hwy. in the middle

of the night, 510's, 240Z's, Capri's and stuff like that. something that would land you in the clink with your car off to impound now.

 

Have some old Mini Truckin mags too.

[angliagt]

I have about 20 boxes of old magazines Road&Track,C&D,

Practical Classics,Your Classic,Truckin,Mini Trucker (early-mid-

'70's),plus a lot of specials.

Reading the old road tests is interesting,plus the old ads.

Makes to think on how much better (simpler) times were.

I also collect books - I've got the "Complete" (nowhere near-

complete)book of Toyota & Datsun,+ many English Ford books.

.......and there's the box of brochures.When I'm gone,my

kids will go through all of this stuff,& wonder why I kept most of it.

Yes...I have a huge pile of old mags...Road and Track, Street Rodder, Vannin', Street Action...:lol:

 

Plus all the old Nat. Geos, Life and Time mags...

 

I got them all...well...almost all, for the ads!:D

[whitechef]

When a buddy of mine moved into an old house the pipes where insulated with old newspapers. He manageed to get a couple of old ads off intact. My favorite is one for the new '56 ford F 100 pickup.

i found this while cleaning my parents attic a while back

[pharouh]

Me too!

I've collected any ad and pictures I could use for my artwork.

Years ago,my parents had some 60's Reader's Digest and National Geographic going back to 1956. I saved all of the ads and put some of them in notebooks for safekeeping. Several Datsun ads,too.

I hoped I wasn't the only one to do this.:lol:
