24Chry48 Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 I need to have the very first Chrysler magazine ad for my Chrysler museum in Isanti, MN. According to the biography written on Walter Chrysler, in a book by Cursio, the first ad was in the Saturday Evening Post dated December 8, 1923, and it was a two page ad. Anyone have it and would be willing to sell or donate it? Thanks, Greg Biskey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is called "The Old Chrysler Garage." Contains 14 pre-war Chryslers, (one is a 48), a lot of the old dealership signage and a bunch of memorabilia. The building was built in 1918, was a Willys-Overland dealership, which WPC was in charge of the corp. in 1920- 21, so it has a Chrysler history. I am open Thursday-Sunday from 1 to 5 p.m. I only collect Chryslers, no Dodges, etc. I like them all but had to stay with one name to keep from going broke over the years. It's a lot of fun to talk to old car enthusiasts every day, and I have met so many nice people, including some with Chrysler corporation history. I'm on Facebook, The Old Chrysler Garage.

Tim Wolfe Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 Would you be so kind to post some pictures of your museum? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gunsmoke Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 I see a second copy of this magazine on eBay today, $14.95USD "buy it now". It is interesting this issue has a 1 page introduction to the general public about who WPC is and suggests more is to follow about the man on Dec 15 1923? So good luck with your search.
