New York, New York: Automobile Club of Southern California, 1926. First Edition. Original Wraps. Very good-. A single original issue with original advertisements--color full page cover ads for Standard Oil Zerolene, Shell Motor Oil, and Balwin Shock Absorbers . Quarto, 11 1/2" tall, wire saddle stitch, 66 pages (black and white interior) + 8 page 'Rotagravure' section printed in blue + stiff color cover. A very good minus, original magazine overall with moderate edge wear, but light foxing to the cover margins, and a subscriber's label on the cover; light yellowing to pages, but some minor finger staining to some fore-edge margins, wire saddle-stitches rusting and spine slightly roughed and a few scattered edge tears. The original newsprint paper used for the photogravure section has high acid content and is more yellowed. A terrific portrait of the time with ads and illustration and relatively scarce.
