this is so cool.man i wish they still did those like that...books i mean..

 

Great, great job! Thanks for your time and effort to post all those covers. Reminds me of going to Jazzbo's All in One in Cochran, Georgia and seeing them displayed on the news stand. It was a tough decision to pick one or two to take home each month. Still have most of them after all these years. I don't understand how some experts feel it is their duty to slam the contents of these periodicals. The coverage contained in them is the most important link to the time period that you will find.

 

That was FUN! thanks for taking the time to do that.

 

Started scanning some of mine.

I've got a bunch more to do.

 

ROYALE WITH CHEESE! way rad!

 

Mazooma For President!

Jeez,can't believe I missed such an incredible thread!Thanks Mazooma

You guys are so NUTS. Thanks so much. This is pure insanity and I love it. Best, Slim

 

How the hell did I miss this? Best thread ever! Thanks Mazooma1!!!

 

thank you, thank you..... you rule..

 

Mazooma-

This thread's cooled off a little bit so I thought I'd give it a bump. And I knew there had to be a good reason for me to download most of the covers you posted. So I finally got around to using a bunch of them to put together a couple of wallpapers to share.

Thanks again for taking the time to scan and post these great covers!

Here's a 1024x768 version for non-widescreen usage.


And a 1440x900 version for wide-screen users.



Click to download 1024x768 version.

Click to download 1440x900 version.

...then click "Download" above the image to open in new window, then right-click on image and select "Save Image As..."

You might need to resize these to fit your screen better for different moniter resolutions, but if there are some other more popular screen sizes in use out there, let me know and I can probably kludge together some different sized versions.

 

Very cool thread - thanks.

 

thanks for the new desktop

 

cool thread Mazooma and thanks for the wallpapers ClayMart!

 

I'm really digging the Mystery.

 

why doesn't HOT ROD look like this today? mine usually goes from a quick page flip to the trash... unless I see something worth saving. These all have stuff I would be interested in archiving.

 

Missed this the first time around too.

THANK YOU SIR!!!!

 

Wow, how'd I miss this first time round?

Anyone else notice the flipped photo of the Roadster on this cover?

 

wow...

 

ClayMart ... Thanks for the wallpaper!

Rem ... Not a flipped photo ... those are "Aussie Firestones" made specifically for RHD roadsters!

 

Ha! I'll have to get me some of them then for my '34. Anyone want to buy some cheap old regular Firestones?

 

Thanks Dude ! Best thread ever ! ! Got em ALL saved to give out for christmas gifts
