VERY COOL:)
The third picture looks like a 1932 model Studebaker President St. Regis Brougham and the fourth picture mentions for "fourscore years". Studebaker started in 1852 + 80 years would also date that at 1932.
thanks mustangtony. that's good to know, because there isn't a date on either of them. i wonder if the second one is a different year?
As a graphic designer, I love the wonderful design of the first and second images. Very stylish! Is that the front and back covers of one brochure? I'd love to see more!
thanks stefdesign. no, those are two different brochures. each one has about 24 pages - w/ lots of great illustrations and wonderful color. in the first one, the red is a thick coat of flocking and the white is actually very shiny silver.
