As I have mentioned here on the forums ( someplace, sometime) I have a run of the periodical OMNIA. It was a French auto magazine that made its debut in 1920 and ran until 1936 - It was a monthly, paper it was printed on is coated stock so the photographs in the magazine are superb and the screen they used to turn the photographs into a printable medium for the magazine was very fine , so detail really shows up. Towards the end of each year OMNIA had an annual show issue which covered assorted motor shows as well as concours events held the end of the season. Here are two examples of what was in one page of one issue . there were 12 issues per year, that's one a month, I am perhaps missing 6 issues total. Both American and European cars are shown in the issues, of course European cars get more press coverage due to their availability. I can never ever scan and feature here all the interesting images from all the issues I have. Both Austin Clark and Peter Helck knew about this magazine and pre war into the early 1950s Peter would try to find issues and remove pages that showed cars he enjoyed the styling of . Austin tried to get a full run of the magazine . I first heard of it when visiting England and staying with a friend who was a motor book dealer - Peter Moore of West Sussex. Peter acted as my agent and pretty much built a collection of all the issues one at a time for me over a span of about 25 years. On view here: a Hispano-Suiza model J12 ( 12 cylinder) at a Concours de Elegance in Boulogne. ( no mention of the body builder - for the car or the crumpet posed on the top of the front seat!) Walt, That dual-banded gold-plated beltline molding was a common treatment used by Fernandez & Darrin of Paris. Here's a Renault Reinastella, perhaps at the same Bois de Boulogne Concours... And a later model Renault Nervastella.. I'd peg that Hispano-Suiza as Fernandez & Darrin.
