Vintage large-format
fold-out 1937 road map of Pennsylvania and New Jersey, printed more than 87
years
ago.
- This map opens to a generous 24" x 37½"
and has great detail on old highway
alignments and route numbers, with cartography by the American Automobile Association.
- A full-panel ad urges motorists to "avoid all city traffic" and use the New
Castle-Pennsville Ferry to cross the
Delaware River where the Delaware Memorial Bridge is located today. The ferry
offered year-round, 24-hour service.
- Another panel has an ad for Coca-Cola, with a gas station attendant getting
a
bottle
of Coke out of a cooler for a traveling motorist. The slogan at the top
reads: "All roads lead to the pause that refreshes."
- On the reverse side of the map there is a detailed index of cities and
villages in Pennsylvania and New Jersey, along with descriptive listings of bridges,
ferries,
and points of interest.
- Condition: This map is in very good
condition,
bright
and clean, with no marks, rips, or tears. Please
see the scans and feel free to ask any questions.
- It was published in 1937 by the American Automobile
Association, Washington, D.C. and is dated in the lower corner.
