191820597Syracuse NY: Franklin Automobile Company 1918. Very Good/No Dust Jacket As Issued. <br /> A remarkably sophisticated manufacturer-issued automotive catalogue issued at the height of Franklin's influence this volume functions simultaneously as a luxury sales presentation and a technical exposition of the company's distinctive air-cooled engineering philosophy.<br /> <br /> Unlike many contemporary automobile catalogues that relied primarily on promotional imagery Franklin devoted substantial space to explaining mechanical construction operating principles and performance advantages presenting its automobiles as advanced engineering achievements for a technically minded and affluent clientele.<br /> <br /> Among the most substantial American automobile catalogues of the late Brass Era it captures the intersection of industrial innovation luxury marketing and consumer culture at a moment when competing visions of automotive technology were still actively contested. The survival of the original June 5 1918 price sheet further enhances its documentary value preserving a notably complete record of one of America's most innovative automobile manufacturers and its effort to educate prospective buyers as well as sell them a car.<br /> <br /> CONDITION: Very Good. The bindings are tight and square. Text is clean with light even age-toning throughout. Moderate shelf handling is present with rubbing to the lower corners and a small scuff mark centered on the spine. The photographic plates remain bright and well-preserved.<br /> Laid-In Material: The original printed price sheet titled 'Effective June 5 1918' remains present and well preserved. HISTORICAL SIGNIFICANCE -<br /> Founded in Syracuse in 1902 the Franklin Automobile Company emerged as one of America's most innovative automobile manufacturers. While competitors largely embraced water-cooled engines Franklin built its reputation around air-cooled technology lighter construction and advanced engineering solutions. The company attracted buyers who viewed the automobile as a technical achievement as much as a luxury product.<br /> <br /> This 1918 catalogue was issued during Franklin's most influential period when the company had established itself as a respected producer of premium automobiles. The publication demonstrates how Franklin communicated its engineering advantages to potential customers using technical explanation as a marketing strategy. As such it serves as both a sales catalogue and a primary-source record of early twentieth-century automotive thought.<br /> <br /> Today Franklin occupies an important place in American automotive history because it pursued an alternative technological path that challenged industry norms. The catalogue captures that distinct identity at a moment when the future of automobile design remained open to experimentation and competing engineering philosophies.<br /> <br /> SCHOLARLY FEATURES<br /> Automotive Innovation: Documents Franklin's pioneering commitment to air-cooled engines at a time when water-cooled designs dominated the American market.<br /> Engineering Culture: Reflects an era when manufacturers actively educated consumers about mechanical principles assuming a technically curious audience.<br /> Industrial Design: Illustrates the relationship between engineering innovation and luxury branding during the Brass Era and immediate postwar automotive market.<br /> Corporate Identity: Presents Franklin's engineering philosophy as the company's defining competitive advantage rather than focusing solely on appearance or comfort.<br /> Documentary Value: The surviving price sheet preserves contemporary pricing data rarely retained with trade catalogues.<br /> <br /> SUBJECTS: Franklin Automobile Company Air-Cooled Automobiles Early Automotive Engineering American Automobile Industry Brass Era Automobiles Automobile Design Technical Sales Literature Industrial Design History Syracuse New York Manufacturing Automotive Advertising Transportation History Automobilia Trade Catalogues Transportation History Industrial Design Corporate Publishing Technical Manuals Automotive Ephemera.

" All-weather roads crossed much of the nation by the mid 1930s; the system of numbered US highways had been introduced in 1926. Prior to that "named highways" like the Lincoln Highway or Yellowstone Trail had signs directing you from town to town coast to coast or border to border. By 1940 even most state highways were paved meaning you could reach almost any town in the country. The first arduous cross-country journeys were made in the teens but by the late 1930s it was commonplace for a middle-class family to make an auto trip of several hundred miles to vacation in a national park or to visit relatives. In The Grapes of Wrath Steinbeck writes about the cross-country journey made via U. S. 66 by hundreds of Okies to California looking for work.

192358809Portland OR: n.p. 1923. One large silver gelatin photograph sized 14 x 23.5 in. w/o photographer’s imprint or markings on thick matte finish photo paper very very slight closed tear at lower fore-edge neatly repaired in original glass & frame now w/ archival foam core backing. This wonderful image graced the offices of the Oregon Auto Stage Terminal Co. in downtown Portland out of the Union State Depot. Following World War I over 135 motor buses and automobiles operated over 16 different routes within a 125-mile radius of Oregon. Before the Oregon Auto Stage Terminal was built countless unlicensed and registered companies stationed themselves at corners hotels and spots throughout the city resulting in many complaints from both tourists and residents. The OAST Co. established a well organized system that allowed more than 10000 passengers to be carried every year and these Fageol buses along with White Co. coaches were especially popular on the windy and picturesque route along the Columbia River Highway. We could find no similar surviving promotional company photo for the Company. See: Earl Brownlee Various Makes of Busses are Used with Marked Success. . .

193646617Dearborn MI: Ford Motor Co. 1936. Large poster 36 x 21.25 ins. colour lithograph mounted on thick board pinholes to corners minor rubbing & edgewear minor chipping to corners some rubbing to the fore-edges of board slight scuffing still a G and bright example professionally cleaned and shrunkwrapped on archival foam core. First edition of this exceedingly scarce original dealership showroom display poster for the 1937 Ford Deluxe Tudor Sedan which was introduced in November 1936. The car came equipped with the Flathead V-8 generated 85 horsepower and could reach nearly 80 m.p.h. The 1937 was the first year Ford built coachwork with all steel construction the cars featured a more rounded and smooth look the front grill was V-shaped and faired-in headlights were offered stock. The decision to integrate the famed teardrop shaped headlamps into the front fenders had been made by Edsel Ford and designer E.T. Bob Gregorie who decided to opt for the industrial look of flat body panels flowing fender lines and a raked windshield. Deluxe models had interiors with walnut wood grain window moldings and more exterior trim bright work. They had two matched-tone horns behind the radiator grille two taillights swivel-type sunvisors and the wheels were dressed up with chrome trim. These Dealership posters were typically printed on very thin paper and mounted on boards and unlike porcelain or tin advertising signs these were usually thrown away with the introduction of the next year’s promotional material so they are very scarce.

Colour-illustrated softcovers w/ front cover art of the iconic 1932 Ford Model 18 grille slight creasing very slight edgewear still VG bright copy w/ faint dealership stamp of Raymond Price Mountainhome PA on back cover. First edition of this exceedingly scarce original dealer’s showroom brochure for the 1932 Ford Model 18 when Henry Ford brought V-8 power to the people and within a generation inspired a wide array of hot rodders. The “Deuce Coupe†was an entirely new body style thanks to Edsel Ford and the softer and smoother lines with a few more curves inspired automobile enthusiasts customers and automotive designers which would even be further refined in the soon-to-be-released 1933 models. All 1932 Fods came with black fenders wire wheels and a rear-mounted spare wheel with options of twin side mounts luggage rack clocks interior and exterior mirros and choice of leather available for customers. The 1932 Ford Model 18 was produced for only about 6-7 months in 1932 until the 1933 models appeared. The 1932 models retained the flat radiator smaller 106 in. wheelbase hence they were lighter and still powered by the powerful Ford Flathead V-8. The Ford V-8 had previously only been included with their Lincoln line-up but now was the centerpiece of the new very fast Fords. Worldcat locates only 1 copy Hagley. Ford Motor Co., paperback
