Thread: Old Race And Road Car Ads

    Old Race And Road Car Ads

    Markec sent me this cool clipping from Auto Action, December 1985, and I figured it'd be a great start to a thread on old race car ads. Go ahead and add to it as you see fit.

    Here is the page in its entirety:

    Our very own Roaring Season member, Dave Silcock, selling off one of his Jags, in 1967. What was the price Dave?

    A brilliant and not terribly subtle ad for Owens Tyres.

    Norm Beecheys Speed Shop. Sorry about the quality, this is on the back cover of an issue of The Australian Hot Rod Review from 1968, so pretty scuffed up.

    I have a supply of material that will be looked at with this thread in mind, especially for sales that were being made by those at the sharp end of period racing. I always find for sale adds of interests just as background scenes of many photo's are of great interest.
