This is really a wonderful piece. It's combination Auto Year Book, time capsule, photo album, shop manual, and reference library, all rolled into one! In Xlnt condition.- binding is fully intact (the binding is usually the first thing to go on these). Interior pages are Xlnt, complete, and tightly attached. Cover has light edge wear. One of the nicer examples of a Motor Show Issue I've seen. This is one of a lot of Motor Show Issues that have been stacked flat together in cool, dry Southern California storage for over 60 years.
