cudaman Posted May 25, 2022 Share Posted May 25, 2022 I have been trying to complete my collection of "Antique Automobile" magazines. The really early ones are the hardest to find, as you might expect. Earlier this week I got into a bidding war on Ebay with one other person over a large lot of early issues. If you are the other bidder, please contact me, it is likely that there will be many issues left over after I have picked out the issues I need to fill the gaps in my collection. I will be happy to offer you the remaining issues of the lot for only the price of USPS Priority flat rate shipping. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dynaflash8 Posted May 25, 2022 Share Posted May 25, 2022 I have a complete set, except one or two issues all the way back to 1962 and a very few that are black & white that are older. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Moskowitz Posted May 25, 2022 Share Posted May 25, 2022 Cudaman, are you aware that all the issues of our magazine are available on one thumb drive for only $100? Our Library has digitized (great quality) all the magazines from the beginning. If interested call 717-534-2082 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cudaman Posted May 25, 2022 Author Share Posted May 25, 2022 Yes, I have electronic copies of all the issues. I guess I'm old fashioned, I also like having the original paper copies. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trimacar Posted May 25, 2022 Share Posted May 25, 2022 I agree that sometimes holding a paper book or magazine is so much better than electronic. I tried to read books on Kindle and gave up, I want a book in my hand. The great thing about the AACA thumb drive is that one can somewhat search it, or if there's a comment about "my car was featured in such and such year/number" it's easy to get there. Now, I have a thumb drive a couple years old, does the AACA offer free upgrades to make it recent!?!? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Moskowitz Posted May 25, 2022 Share Posted May 25, 2022 David, I THINK we do but that is a question for the library 717-534-2082 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trimacar Posted May 25, 2022 Share Posted May 25, 2022 OK thanks, I'll contact them...I too have decades of the magazine but need to get them moved on to someone else or the dump, and the latter is a shame to me... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cudaman Posted May 25, 2022 Author Share Posted May 25, 2022 Rather than sending them to the dump, offer them in the classifieds for the cost of postage plus a trifle to cover your efforts. You can fit a lot of magazines into a single USPS medium flat rate box and the shipping is (currently) $16.10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Give them to a young person that is excited and learning the hobby. An older friend gave me a large stack of old issues and after I had gone thru them I looked for an opportunity to pass them on. A man and his 15 year old son came to buy some model A parts from me. The boy was super excited about old cars and I knew I found the right recipient for them. He was thrilled to get them. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bloo Posted May 25, 2022 Share Posted May 25, 2022 What is it like using the thumbdrive? Are these PDF so you can zoom, scroll, etc. or are you stuck in some page flipping application? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3macboys Posted May 26, 2022 Share Posted May 26, 2022 There's one of those "little libraries" out front of my shop, you can guess where all my car magazines go Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The issues are listed, you can click on a particular issue and scroll through the pages. I've not done it, but there is a feature to search all issues, and to search within an issue. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TAKerry Posted May 26, 2022 Share Posted May 26, 2022 I had a collection of Fine Woodworking going back to the beginning. My shelves were full and I would reference them when working on projects. Got to the point that I was looking at the same few a lot of times. Then I photocopied articles and put them in a folder in the shop. When my wife found out the entire library was digitized she put them all in the dump. I was kinda upset (to put it lightly) at first but it freed up shelf space, and one less thing to dust around. I dont miss any of them at this point. My car magazines, I would save the ones that had an interesting article, then about once a year they ended up getting tossed. I now toss when Im done reading them. Some stuff I give to my brother when I see him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's very generous of you. I hope the other bidder can connect with you, and you both can add what you need to your collections. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimy Posted May 26, 2022 Share Posted May 26, 2022 Don’t ship magazines in a flat rate box! USPS Media mail is quite cheap for books, magazines etc 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cudaman Posted May 30, 2022 Author Share Posted May 30, 2022 Just in case anyone has them and is willing to part with them, here is a list of the original print back issues of "Antique Automobile" that I am still missing: 1937 V1: 1, 2, 3 1938 V2: 1, 2, 3 1939 V3: 1, 2, 3, 4 1940 V4: 1, 2, 3, 4 1941 V5: 2, 3, 4, 5 1942 V6: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 1943 V7: 1, 2, 41949 V13: 4 Looking at the thumb drive, there is only one issue (#1) on the drive for 1942 (even though the title page says "published bimonthly". Was the publication suspended in 1942 because of the war, or does the club just not have copies of the other 1942 issues? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StanleyRegister Posted May 30, 2022 Share Posted May 30, 2022 The AACA Library thumb drive files are full-text searchable - a tremendous help in research. I use them constantly. But paper ones are much nice for reading. I'll throw in my list of needs, for after people supply cudaman. :-) 1937-1943, volume 1-7 - all 1944 8- 3,4 1945 9-1 1947 11- 2,3,4 1948 12-1,2 1949 13-1,2 I have a few from the 40s and 50s that I could trade. Also need to fill in gaps in the HCC Gazette and the Bulb Horn... About 35 years of Gazette are online and searchable, but no such luck for the Bulb Horn. By the way, much to my annoyance, old magazines do not meet the USPS criteria for Media Mail, because they contain advertising. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BucketofBolts Posted May 31, 2022 Share Posted May 31, 2022 In case anyone has an old Motor Automobile Business Magazine I am missing the August 1933 edition. It was a trade magazine for the car industry. Cost new was $0.50. I would be happy to pay $20 plus shipping if anyone had an old complete copy.
