TG57Roadmaster Posted April 9, 2009 Share Posted April 9, 2009 (edited) One of the least-expensive areas of collecting is magazine ads, so let's see your favorites. For me, this 1953 Nash 2-pager, illustrated and signed by the legendary Art Fitzpatrick, is one of the greats...Larger, click once after opening.TG Edited December 16, 2009 by TG57Roadmaster (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stock_steve Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 Here are two that I like, featuring collie dogs (the first one I think I scanned from the most recent AA issue--sorry I don't have it in front of me right now to give proper credit):Credit due also to our former AACA Librarian Kim Miller for her excellent article on collies in old car ads, as published in the March/April 2008 issue of Antique Automobile.UPDATE: Ah, I was able to find a copy of that Kim Miller article, which appeared on page 17 of that particular AA issue (Mar/Apr '08), and she did indeed feature that same Packard ad--but it was not reproduced in color, as it is in this most recent (I believe) AA.

Guest Leonard Shepherd Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 Great Packard ads. How do you get them larger? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TG57Roadmaster Posted April 15, 2009 Author Share Posted April 15, 2009 Thanks Len,They wouldn't fit on my scanner, so I took high-res pix with the digital. I use a free program called XnView to downsize, sharpen and adjust contrast/brightness (our Gallery only allows 500kb or less; most of mine are in the 300-480kb range). When you post pix to the Gallery, it auto-reduces them to universal size, but it's still available in both larger and small versions (plus the thumbnail).Using UBBCode, do the thing (inserting the copied image properties in place of the....)http://photos.aaca.org/data/504/medium/41_Darrin_1.jpgThen, use the Larger thing, but removing the "medium/" and inserthttp://photos.aaca.org/data/504/41_Darrin_1.jpg again, in place of the dots (which I used just so you could see what to type). Remember to remind folks to click once to enlarge after opening the larger image.Got it? Good. Give it a whirl, you'll like the results!TG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Leonard Shepherd Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 I am not sure how to find the UBB code on the AACA album. I put this ad on Photobucket, and when I click on "LARGER" it gets smaller. Larger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest CarAdMan Posted July 11, 2009 Share Posted July 11, 2009 I've been collecting Antique Auto Ads & Articles for over 20 years. You can't see the walls of my office for the automobilia. I have over 20,000 ads and am constantly adding more. I often come up with duplicates, so if you're looking for an ad of your particular auto, email me year, make, model and any other details of the car you want. I'll email you scans of what I have available. Prices are low, I'm in it for the hobby, not to get rich. - Just an old gearhead - RICK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
