lots of fun to have car friends who can swap, share, loan, borrow, and just
Enjoy these friends while you can. At age 81 most of my close car friends are gone. People like former AACA presidents Al Edmonds and Howard Scotland. Al was responsible for getting me into antique cars, advertising and French Cameo. We had breakfast every Saturday morning at 6 am at the same reastaurant for 30 years. Unfortunately many of us don't appreciate how important these friendships are until they are gone!

Not too sure it’s the same guy. The one I know is EXTREMELY cheap. He’s so broke, when he went to school, he couldn’t even pay attention!
Ed, with friends like you one doesn't need enemies. What a great post regarding someone who is obviously close to you!!

Greg, I loved your dream. My reoccurring dream is that I am at an evert and after is is over I can't ever find my car and wonder around aimlessly. Do we both need to see a psychiatrist?

Six hours ago I received a One Year and a Posting Machine badge but they have now disappeared. I hate to go to bed feeling so SAD re my obvious failures. It gives us something to smile about. Carry on Peter, we're still with you.

Nice advertising item! I remember a few years back a quantity of these was discovered by an antique dealer.
That would explain the pristine condition of this advertising piece. Terry your knowledge of advertising history along with Walt and others is amazing and adds to the enjoyment of this thread along with educating the rest of us.

Found in the same box as preceding items. NOS counter display item in original package.

This is a 4 by 4 inch transparency I have no memory of purchasing it or ever seeing it before. Probably came with a box of junk. Any idea how this was used or did someone just take a high quality photo of a nos advertisement?

Nothing to do Sunday morning so I started going through my wife’s vintage clothing storage unit. Interesting Michelin advertising sign. So far I haven’t been able to find a similar sign on eBay. Any idea as to the age? Thanks

K8096, thanks for sharing. Very interesting booklet. Is there a background story?

In addition to AACA I would look for specific car clubs for different makes. I know Dallas has a very active Cad-Lasalle, Mopar and Corvette clubs. Don't overlook Hot Rod Clubs. When I moved to College Station 12 years ago I joined a active Street Rod Club. They have been very helpful.

The thought that someday these would be on a display shelf would never have crossed their mind!!

Sorry I didn't get to finish. My 12y/o triplet grandsons came home from school. Jackie Cooper starred in "The Little Rascals" from 1929-1931. He was also Perry White in four "Superman" movies along with his role in 1931's "The Champ": He was the first child star to be nominated for Best Actor Academy Award for his appearance in "Skippy" at age 9. In addition to acting he had a respectable career as a director for several episodes of M*A*S*H and The White Shadow. He died May 3. 2011 at age 88.

An interesting advertising piece that has been in my collection for over 40 years. Famous childhood actor who won an Emmy as a director. Sorry for the glare but this is hanging 14 feet up on a wall in my car facility

nobody can see both sides of a car at the same time
In the early 80's my 29 Cad Dual Cowl won a AACA first Junior and First Senior with Pin Striping on the passenger side only (Striper got sick and had surgery). It was never questioned by the judging teams.
