New York, New York: Automobile Club of Southern California, 1927. First Edition. Original Wraps. Good +. A single original issue with original advertisements--color full page cover ads for Associated Gasoline; Standard Oil Zerolene, and Shell Motor Oil. Quarto, 11 1/2" tall, wire saddle stitch, 50 pages (black and white interior) + 8 page 'Rotagravure' section printed in green + stiff color cover. A good plus, original magazine overall with moderate edge wear, but moderate soiling to the cover, primarily at the margins and pencil writing marring the illustration as well as a long scuff likely caused by tape removal, and a subscriber's label on the cover; moderate yellowing to pages, but some minor finger staining to some fore-edge margins, wire saddle-stitches rusting and spine slightly roughed and a few scattered edge tears. The original newsprint paper used for the photogravure section has high acid content and is more yellowed. A terrific portrait of the time with ads and illustration and relatively scarce.
