RARE 1971 DODGE SCATPACK POSTER & GREAT EARLY JOHN BAEDER PRINT AT AUCTION

[allcars]

May I mention a couple of really unusual pieces of memorabilia selling no reserve at the upcoming Worldwide Auctioneers Memorabilia sale in Auburn, Indiana? Thanks for taking a look, and if you go to the Worldwide Memorabilia Auction online catalog, be sure to check out the other neat pieces they are offering at Auburn, August 31-Sept. 2.

 

The first item we'd like to mention is a 1971 Dodge Scat Pack Club poster, done in the Peter Max style that was then in vogue. It really is a fantastic piece of graphic artistry. This is a very large poster, measuring approx. 4 ft. x 7 ft. It was never shipped to a Dodge dealership, but does have some edge wear from long storage and occasional handling. We've only seen a couple of these offered at auction over the decades and this one is in superior condition compared to the one sold about four years ago. You can view the Worldwide posting for the one to be sold at Auburn, including photos and bidding details, here: Dodge Scat Pack Club poster, item 3004 selling at no reserve Saturday, Sept. 2:

The other piece is believed unique. It is a large silkscreen print on Kraft paper, showing a circa 1935 Chevrolet dealership's used car lot in Marysville, CA. It was created around 1972, from the original 1930s 8x10 negative, by the famous photorealist artist, photographer, and artist John Baeder—look him up on Wikipedia to get an idea of how many museum collections his works are held by. It was gifted to the consigner by John Baeder, in thanks for providing the image and others from a personal collection for use in one of his early projects. The piece is signed by Baeder in pencil and initialed by him as an Artist's Proof (AP). It is in very good condition, having some minor edge wear, etc. You can view the Worldwide - Auburn sale posting for this unusual work of art, including photos and bidding details, here: 1930s Chevrolet dealer's used car lot print by John Baeder from original negative, item 1010, selling at no reserve, Thursday, August 31:
