Ed, you are one of the few who knows what they are , they are something you really never see on this side of the pond, and most people do not know the names at all. Thing is there were cars of American manufacture in Europe and they had European coachwork because they were imported as a chassis. A good number of these are pictured in those magazines. There were sales catalogs printed in Europe and England as well for American made motor cars  - some wonderful stuff for Buick, Lincoln, Ford, Chrysler products, Franklin, Hudson, etc.   Hard to collect if you don't even know it existed in the first place!  The souvenir motor show programs from Paris, Brussels, Berlin and London are wonderful thick books, listing all the cars on display and who created their coach work and some of the ads in those are amazing letting people know of that particular countries location of sales showrooms and repair workshops. It's all good!!!!

100,000 is a new record by far!!  We should make up certificates of achievement to all you who have posted but since we have no time for that please consider this you virtual certificate!  Thanks everyone.

Even more if you add his 'pre-Covid' effort which made it to 9 pages:
