Brubaker Posted December 6, 2022 Share Posted December 6, 2022 (edited) Curious if rare (or not so much). Well-preserved Overland advertisement from a vintage Saturday Evening Post. Three or four other (different) Overland versions (all originally in a SE Post) I'm considering acquiring.

Jim Skelly Posted December 6, 2022 Share Posted December 6, 2022 A few years ago, there were two Saturday Evening Post magazines published with just old car advertising. I don't know if more than two were published. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TerryB Posted December 6, 2022 Share Posted December 6, 2022 Used to be somewhat common to find these ads for sale at car shows. Market has gone very soft for most magazine ads. I had this Saturday Evening Post Ad for a very long time and finally decided to buy a frame for it. Came out pretty nice. Also did this Chandler ad. For me, finding frames at a decent price is the challenge. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terry Bond Posted December 7, 2022 Share Posted December 7, 2022 Magazine ads are fun to collect and nice to display on a wall in your den or garage. They are not rare or valuable. You'll spend far more getting it framed than it's really worth. Terry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Found them at Michaels Craft Store, a national chain store. Has to buy 3 frames to get a reasonable price on them. On the REO I tried a lighter color backing but in doing so it allowed the printing on the reverse side of the ad to show through. The black backing worked out much better.

Terry Bond Posted December 7, 2022 Share Posted December 7, 2022 Top Secret info here - my source for cool frames is the local thrift stores. Take your tape measure along. For just a few bucks you can save hundreds. I cut mt own mats but sometimes find good mats in cheap frames too.. Terry 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terry Same place where I get frames for my misc auto pictures. Lots of selection and you can find exactly what you want if you are not in a hurry. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMoneyPit Posted December 8, 2022 Share Posted December 8, 2022 Same for on site estate sales, usually a few dollars will get you something old and good quality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
