Latest find: 50's-60's Road & Track

[Concours.John]

On my rounds if I see a garage sale with vintage car parts etc. I'm on it.
Went through a box and.....







The 1959 article on the exact same Veloce Spider I work on



Inside more at least half is dedicated to racing. With pics of tracks and things like this.



Some Classifieds







I picked up 20. May go back and get a few more. I grabbed most of the near mint ones. For a little more than cost new (they were 50 cent new) I think it was a find.

That is amazing! I have an old automotive technology book from the late 1940's that was my grandfathers. It is very very cool and talks about things like overhead valve technology and flat heads as well as "high" compression rations of 7:1.

I agree. I love vintage print. What I find interesting is as I flip through I see cars I have seen in person at the Concours (the exact car) Birdcages, Testarossas, The Turin 512. It goes on and on. Seeing Shelby with Maserati and Stirling Moss in their day.
All I can say is wow.

The other find was a new magnified overhead projector. Not as significant as the magazines but I'm thinking 6ft Ferrari, etc logos on shop walls.
