Envelopes & Letterheads == Got Any???

They spent a lot of time trying to get your attention do you have any speed related envelopes or letterheads?

 

I have a nice little collection of that stuff, I'll scan/post some tonite.

 

I have a few, not quite as cool as yours though.

The first is a letter sent in 1949 by Karl Orr on the use of a Potvin ignition.

Brandy, I'm sure you're right as I believe Veda helped run their speed shop.

Cool post. I bet there is a lot of this stuff tucked away.

 

Keep 'em coming! These are awesome.

 

The envelope was canceled sept. 25 1948. My scanner is acting up.

 

i have the brochure for minnesota dragways when the idea was being marketed to area residents and sponsers ...
funny to see how it was promoted at first... and then later banned from the spot under the same sort of propaganda..



so when do jc whitney catologs become collectible?

Air Reaserch (Garret Turbine, now Honeywell Engines) built an Air Turbine Starter (ATS) powered dragster back in the 60's.

They sent out this mailer to see if there would be a market for the ATS's in drag racing. COOL.

It was also featured in the October 1962 Hot Rod magazine.

 

AH MAN!!! GranCor selling a smith Jiggler V8-60 for $800 and Stromberg 81s already jetted for you for $18 each?

I need to get out of building this traditional stuff and start working on a time machine!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Cool!

 

I love old printed matter. Doesn't have to be auto related, but if it is all the better.

Here is a quick sampling, sorry for the poor quality, I am not at my work scanner.

Enjoy

 

I came across this on the net and thought it was pretty damn cool..

 

a "tommy the greek" brush and business card!

 

I have this original Barris Kustoms card.

 

this was in some paper work that i bought at the track when it was auctioned off...... brandon

 

My Grandfather Arthur P. Heyer had one of the first auto service stations in the country at the turn of the century. Here is a letterhead from the teens. (In the 30's his son Earl built the Lucky 13 Race Car posted here last week.)

 

This is a sample of some of the documents I have hoarded over the years.

 

I found an envelope full of Packard factory stationary with matching envelopes when I got my car. Not as cool as the speed shop stuff, sorry.
