About This Item
New York: National Automobile Chamber of Commerce, 1924. Wraps. Good. Illustrated card stock wraps. 230 pp. Black and white photos throughout. A catalog to various automobiles, including cars, trucks and other commercial vehicles, made by a variety of manufacturers. Includes cost, principal mechanical details and specifications. Manufacturers include Auburn, Apperson, Chevrolet, Durant, Haynes, Dodge, Studebaker, Olds, Nash, Pierce-Arrow, etc. Perhaps of note are four pages of electric vehicles, including cars and commercial vehicles, made by Rauch and Lang, Autocar, and Ward Motor Vehicle Company. While electric cars had been around since the late 1800s, their use declined by 1920 due to innovations in gasoline power car design and discovery of vast amounts of oil, rendering them all but obsolete by the early to mid 1920s. GOOD condition. Five strips of yellowed tape present across the spine. Covers and text block a bit wavy, presumably from water exposure at some point. Minor soiling, fading and discoloration to the covers. Faint dampstain visible along the fore edges of all the pages in the interior.
