If the tailfins do not get you, the color palette will.
The January 1959 issue of Popular Mechanics features its Annual Auto Section, with a gloriously busy cover full of late-1950s cars in red, turquoise, green, blue, and wood-paneled glory. Cover stories include “Heroic Years of the Automobile,” “Car Stylists Talk Back,” and “How Good Are the Gadgets?”
For classic car people, this is the good stuff: period automotive writing from the moment these cars were new, wrapped in one of the most display-worthy covers of the era. Frame it, stack it on a coffee table, put it in the garage, or actually read it and discover what 1959 thought of 1959 cars.
Condition: Vintage condition with spine wear, creasing, edge wear, and some paper loss/tearing near the lower left edge. Cover remains colorful and highly displayable. Completeness has not been verified page by page.
