Amazing Car Brochures from the 1920s-50s

We now have an incredible collection of vintage car brochures dating from the 1920s-50s.  There are two full boxes of material, most of which are for American brands of the day including Ford, Buick, Chevrolet and many "orphans" such as Hupmobile, Jordan and many others.  Please take a look at the photos below- these are fascinating for me to look at and would be for anyone interested in vintage printing techniques or those involved in advertising and messaging- the graphics and copy are incredible.  Thanks for looking and feel free to come by to take a look, though we recommend you let us know if you are coming as they aren't on display for everyone to see.
