Deco drives artwork of 1927 car parts catalogue cover

Imagine being the first person in your neighbourhood to own a car - sexy, dynamic, geometric and speedy. I think the catalogue is promising this, and more!

ReplyDeleteI really wanted to read antique cars histories. I don't think carfax has records about it. NMVTIS might have antique vehicle histories.
