Jeanna Posted September 10, 2019 Share Posted September 10, 2019 Hello. I'm looking for any information or help I can get. My Dad's friend was featured in an auto magazine in the 1950s - possibly 1952 - 1959. I have a picture of the ad. My friend's Dad passed away 30 years ago and my friend would love to find the full magazine his Dad was featured in. I have tried finding any information possible to figure out which magazine it was but have only run into roadblocks. I have attached the copy of the ad. Of course when the ad was run, the car was labeled incorrectly as a 1913 Chevy Amesburg Special. Does this ad or type of ad look familiar to anyone? Thank you for your help!

TerryB Posted September 10, 2019 Share Posted September 10, 2019 Looks like it was a feature in a magazine and not a for sale ad. Local AAA magazine might be a possibility. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeanna Posted September 11, 2019 Author Share Posted September 11, 2019 Yes it was a feature. My understanding is that it was featured in a major auto magazine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeanna Posted September 11, 2019 Author Share Posted September 11, 2019 My friend still has his Dad's. His Dad restored it when he got it in the 50's. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, it has that PM look to it or any of the other home repair based magazines of the 1950's. Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
