Price: 29 USD https://www.1950s-chevy.com/shop/1957-chevrolet-postcard-lot-of-13-bel-air-two-ten-one-fifty-reprint/ If you prefer eBay: https://www.ebay.com/itm/163591737923 (lot of 12) If you have a 1957 Chevrolet or collect cool literature for 57 Chevys, you probably have seen those beautiful dealer postcards. Dealerships and salesmen of the 1950s used these postcards to win new prospects. We’ve collected all of them and offer them as reprint for little money. In this lot you are buying: 1957 Chevrolet 150 2-Door Sedan Postcard 1957 Chevrolet 210 2-Door Sedan Postcard 1957 Chevrolet 210 4-Door Sedan Postcard 1957 Chevrolet 210 Delray Club Coupe Postcard 1957 Chevrolet 210 Handyman Postcard 1957 Chevrolet 210 Sport Coupe Postcard 1957 Chevrolet 210 Sport Sedan Postcard 1957 Chevrolet 210 Townsman Postcard 1957 Chevrolet Bel-Air 2-Door Sedan Postcard 1957 Chevrolet Bel-Air 4-Door Sedan Postcard 1957 Chevrolet Bel-Air Convertible Postcard 1957 Chevrolet Bel-Air Sport Sedan Postcard 1957 Chevrolet Bel-Air Townsman Postcard They are reprints made from originals in good shape. The reprints match the original postcards in size, paper weight and they are printed on both sides, too! The only difference is: On the back of the reprints it mentions 1950s Chevy instead of being printed in the USA. All 1957 Chevrolet postcards have “factory correct imperfections” – please don’t expect ultra sharp postcards in todays high definition standards and there might be some discoloring like any over 60 year old postcard has. The reprints were produced by a professional printing company. Use our low-cost reprints to write to your friends without using a rare original one! The postcard size is: 5.51″ wide x 3.27″ high (metric system: 14.0 x 8.3 cm). https://www.1950s-chevy.com/shop/1957-chevrolet-postcard-lot-of-13-bel-air-two-ten-one-fifty-reprint/ If you prefer eBay: https://www.ebay.com/itm/163591737923 (lot of 12)

  11. A few weeks ago a visitor of my website wrote me a very nice email. He said his family had a Buick dealership for many years (decades!) and he'd love to see more Buick architecture pictures or graphics. He had seen the 1940s Buick Dealership Layout Guide and asked me if I offer reprints. Well, his wish was my command. 🙂 Here are two items that show 1940s/1950s Dealer Architecture: 1940s Buick Dealership Layout Guide - 49 USD https://www.hometownbuick.com/shop/1940s-buick-dealership-layout-guide-showroom-planning-book-architecture-reprint/ (eBay: https://www.ebay.com/itm/163604930264) 1950s Buick Dealer Signs Brochure - 39 USD https://www.hometownbuick.com/shop/1950s-buick-dealer-signs-brochure-reprint/ (eBay: https://www.ebay.com/itm/163536366795)

  17. Thanks man! Call me if you want this for 1954! Would be a great project.
  18. A few more photos: How it started plus the basic work with cardboard, cordaveen, metal rings, etc.! I've always compared my work with the original to see if I'm on the right track.
  19. I'm selling a unique 1955 Buick Colors & Fabrics Book. What it makes one of a kind? Well, the story began with an original in very bad shape. Most of its parts was already fallen apart. A restoration was not possible. So I thought what to do with it. I was curious if it was possible to rebuild a book of the 1950s with modern materials. And so it began! After disassembly I measured every single piece. The new heavy cardboard pieces were lasercut. I've decided not to use cordaveen look as the original - I wanted real cordaveen material. So this new book feels better than the original. :-) I cut all pieces by hand and glued everything together. I ordered special screws and chrome caps to hide the screws. The metal ring binders are the only pieces that are from the original. They had a bath in a special chemical mixture to clean them. The samples of exterior colors and interior trims were scanned in very high resolution and afterwards printed three times to match the original colors as close as possible. Afterwards they were printed, cut and I order a special tool to cut the corners in a round shape - just like the originals. The original books have a section for transparencies. In most cases they are damaged, destroyed and even good examples are not easy to use. So I've decided to create one just for show. I've used car graphics from the sales brochure, retouched them with a computer software, printed them on a special paper, cut them and so on. They look fantastic! There are three items (reprints) that come with this book: The wholesale ordering sheet, an interior guide and a letter. This is the only recreation of a book like this I know of. If you own a 55 Buick or are a fan of these beautiful cars, this is probably the only chance to own this masterpiece! It is - in my opinion - a good mixture of the look & feel of the 1950s plus the advantanges of a brand new book. I have no idea what it might be worth. The asking price is hard to tell. I've spent over 100 hours to create this book. The material used cost over 1,000 USD. So I've put it on eBay: https://www.ebay.com/itm/163000458732
  20. Today at a local US car show near Stuttgart, Germany :-)
  21. I've noticed that these books became much harder to find in the past years. A friend of mine asked me if I could make him a reprint for his 56 Buick. Of course, making only one is too expensive. So I made 10 of them, plus a few books for 1953, 1957 and 1959. There were 10 each, of which some are already sold. All of them were made to match high quality printing standards, but still keep the original authentic styling of the books. 1953 Buick Facts Book for Salesmen - 59 USD https://www.hometownbuick.com/shop/1953-buick-dealer-facts-book-reprint/ (If you prefer eBay: http://www.ebay.com/itm/162614954040) 1956 Buick Facts Book - 59 USD https://www.hometownbuick.com/shop/1956-buick-dealer-facts-book-reprint/ (If you prefer eBay: http://www.ebay.com/itm/162619315844) 1957 Buick Facts Book - 59 USD https://www.hometownbuick.com/shop/1957-buick-dealer-facts-book-reprint/ (If you prefer eBay: http://www.ebay.com/itm/162614951966) 1959 Buick Facts Book - 59 USD https://www.hometownbuick.com/shop/1959-buick-dealer-facts-book-reprint/ (If you prefer eBay: http://www.ebay.com/itm/162618522902)
