1934 Auto Trade Journal Jan BIN Jan 11th cover 1

Up for consideration is this nice Original 1934 edition of The Automobile Trade Journal, Vol 39, No 2, by the Chiltons Company (Copyright January 1934).

This 126 page soft bound magazine is in Excellent Form, pages in Excellent Plus shape, which is amazing for a magazine that is almost 86 years old. It covers all things having to do with the commercial automobile service garage, Repairs, Shop Service, Profits, Trade secrets, etc.

…. for those cars of that era like: American Bantam, Austin, Auburn, Buick, Cadillac, Chandler, Chevy, Chrysler, Continental, Cord, DeSoto, Dodge, Durant, Elcar, Erskine, Essex, Ford, Franklin, Gardner, Graham-Paige, Graham, Hudson, Hupmobile, Jordan, Kissel, Lafayette, LaSalle, Lincoln, Locomobile, Marmon, Marquette, McFarlan, Moon, Nash, Oakland, Olds, Overland, Packard, Paige, Peerless, Pierce-Arrow, Plymouth, Pontiac, REO, Rockne, Roosevelt, Studebaker, Stutz, Terraplane, Viking, Whippet, Willys-St. Claire, Willys, and Willys-Knight.

It also has regular and special feature articles like: .....see picture below.....

This journal is an early manual, and as you can see by the pictures, a wealth of information. If you have an old classic car from 1930 to 1934, or if you are an avid collector of auto literature, you will find this book a real treasure.

Not to mention page after page of great ads from 1934 ......and the famous cover art by famed artist Charles W. Hargens (1893-1997), who also did cover art for magazines like Coller's, Saturday Evening Post, Boys Life and more!

Again, this 87 year old magazine is in Excellent Form, pages in Excellent Plus shape.
