Auto racing Speed runs Bonneville Salt Flats Americana
Archive of 163 vernacular photographs of speed runs at Bonneville 1960-1963
Tooele County UT: N.p. 1963. Archive of 163 vernacular photographs including 145 in color and 18 in black-and-white capturing the 1960-1963 National Speed Trials commonly known as Speed Week at the Bonneville Salt Flats in Utah. Housed in 17 yellow envelopes with dates and names of racers written in holograph ink annotation to the rectos. <br/><br/>Offered with the archive is a brand new set of the two-volume Bonneville National Speed Trials references covering 1949-1958 and 1959-1968 respectively. The set is new and still in shrinkwrap.<br/><br/>In the early 1960s wealthy California car owners began to experiment with surplus jet engines to boost the horsepower of their cars creating distinctive bootlegged hotrods referred to as jet cars or jets designed specifically for the compacted salt surface of the flats. <br/><br/>The photographs in the archive document many early iterations of these unusual and profoundly dangerous vehicles with a particular focus on racers from southern California including Art Arfons' 8000-horsepower Cyclops which set a record for an open-cockpit vehicle 342 mph which still stands today and Mickey Thompson's Challenger I the first car to record a top speed of 400 mph. Also notable are several photographs of the streamliner entries of the Summers brothers in 1961 1962 and 1963 whose streamliner Goldenrod would go on to hold the land speed record from 1965 to 1991. <br/><br/>As a whole the photographs are bright and well-executed clearly shot with a racing insider's eye for detail. Photographs from the perspective of Speed Week attendees are scarce owing to the relatively remote locale and complete absence of accommodations for spectators making the images in the archive an uncommon intimate record of several pivotal years in the history of hotrod racing.<br/><br/>Photographs 5.75 x 3.5 inches envelopes 7.5 x 4. Some photographs with faint adhesive residue to the versos else envelopes and photographs generally Near Fine.<br/><br/>Full provenance available. N.p. unknown books

Auto racing San Diego Timing Association Americana
Archive of material relating to drag racing events in southern California 1951-1964
San Diego: San Diego Timing Association 1964. Archive of vintage programs bulletins flyers and newspaper clippings published by and relating to the San Diego Timing Association a foundational sanctioning organization in US drag racing.<br/><br/>In postwar America the return of risk-loving unmarried ex-GIs with advanced mechanical skills and extra money to spend led to the rise in popularity of illegal street racing. Southern California racers took advantage of the growing number of abandoned military strips in the state colloquially known as "drags" such as the Santa Ana Drags and Sweetwater Dam Navy Outlying Field. Local car clubs pressured law enforcement to allow racing on the strips efforts which would precipitate the formation of the San Diego Timing Association.<br/><br/>The SDTA held their first sanctioned meet at the Sweetwater Dam drag which the members renamed Paradise Mesa on March 11 1951. The events drew spectators and racers from across southern California catching the attention of the newly formed National Hot Rod Association which became a co-sanctioning body for the Paradise Mesa meets in 1953. Importantly the Paradise Mesa races were the first to present drag races in their now standard modern form two cars competing on a quarter-mile closed strip.<br/><br/>Paradise Mesa faced local backlash after a gory racing accident in June 1956 which injured 12 spectators leading to the prompt closure of the facility for racing purposes. Tensions between police and racers heightened in the ensuing years culminating in a two-day clash in August of 1960 after racers shut down three blocks off El Cajon Boulevard in San Diego to stage their own unauthorized drags. The El Cajon Boulevard Riot is now considered one of the first of the youth riots which would come to characterize the 1960s. <br/><br/>The materials contained in the archive provide an extensive register of the early years of the Paradise Mesa races compiled by foundational SDTA member Andrew Smith including 16 original programs for events at the strip and 9 mimeographed broadsheet flyers advertising races. The archive also includes several documents authored by members of the SDTA such as a constitution document signed by the members of a car club called The Kingpins and a typescript press release statement created in response to the El Cajon Boulevard riots.<br/><br/>Of particular note is a nine-page circa-1952 mimeographically duplicated issue of the SDTA News subtitled "Competition Rules" which contains the first known use in print of the word "dragster" defining the word as a class of race car formerly known as a "lakester."<br/><br/>A vibrant fascinating collection allowing a rare glimpse into a seminal period in the histories of both auto racing and youth culture sparsely documented up to this point as a result of the scarcity of available information and surviving material. <br/><br/>Housed in a three-ring binder. Binder and contents generally Near Fine. San Diego Timing Association unknown books

Auto racing
Archive of 14 vernacular photographs of open wheel races at the Iowa State Fair circa 1950s
N.p.: N.p. 1950. Archive of 13 vintage single-weight vernacular photographs and 1 vintage double-weight vernacular photograph of open-wheel racing events held at the Iowa State Fair in Des Moines circa 1950s. <br/><br/>The photographs in the archive show close-ups shots of races at the Iowa State Fairgrounds' original half-mile dirt track with the idiosyncratic vehicle designs and paint schemes of the era on full display. Also included in the archive are several photographs of the Bardahl Special #2 "The Black Deuce" a champion racing car owned by noted car collector Hector Honore Jr. with the car's second driver Bobby Grim behind the wheel. <br/><br/>Open-wheel racing was first sanctioned in the US by the AAA Contest Board who introduced the first track season national championship in 1905. The sport grew in popularity after World War II attributable in large part to the rapid innovations in auto engineering and design throughout the 1950s. In the ensuing decade the rise of the Chevy V8 would quickly render prewar four-cylinder and flathead engines obsolete making the photographs in the archive a valuable record of early race car construction and use. <br/><br/>Photographs generally Very Good plus lightly and evenly faded.

Auto racing Jimmy; yan Al Dean subjects
Two original photo albums documenting Dean Van Lines racing team at the Indianapolis 500 1955-1956
Indianapolis: O'Dell and Shields Studios 1956. Two vintage photo albums documenting Dean Van Lines Indy car team before during and after the Indianapolis 500 in 1955 and 1956 with legendary driver Jimmy Bryan at the helm. Several photographs stamped on the verso by the O'Dell and Shields Studios of Indianapolis longtime contract photographers for the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. <br/><br/>Dean a California moving company magnate and noted championship car owner began his association with Bryan in 1954 when the driver would score his first significant win the AAA National Championship. The pair would win an astonishing 17 national championship races over the course of the next four years.<br/><br/>The 1955 album contains 12 photographs capturing the moments before the 500 with several views of the team performing last-minute modifications to the Kuzma-Offenhauser better known as the Dean Van Lines #2 Special custom-built by Eddie Kuzma for the 1955 race. Also included in the album are several action shots of the race itself along with a single photograph of Bryan posing behind the wheel of Dean's #7 Champ car. <br/><br/>The second album containing 20 photographs documents the Dean Van Lines team at the 500 the following year with Bryan again behind the wheel. A blown tire around lap 100 would spin the Special into the south infield effectively ending the team's shot at winning the race a moment evocatively captured in the album. Dean and Bryan would take the roadster pictured in both albums to the short-lived Race of Two Worlds in Italy in 1957 an event which featured Indy drivers racing against European Formula One drivers. <br/><br/>Bryan would go on to win the 500 in 1958 for George Salih only a few years before his death at 34 in a crash on the Langhorne Speedway in 1960. <br/><br/>A fascinating collection of photographs providing an unusually intimate look behind the scenes at two pivotal figures in US motorsport history. <br/><br/>Albums 11.25 x 8.5 inches photographs 8 x 11 inches. Albums and contents generally Very Good plus. O'Dell and Shields Studios unknown books

Women Employment Automobile
Independence through Motor Cars in the Age of Woman Suffrage
Early Women's Liberation and the Automobile in the Age of Suffrage. Collection of 4 pieces tracing the new path to independence gained by women with the invention of the automobile. Coming of age at the same time as the suffrage movement was reaching full swing the new technology offered by the automobile allowed women not only a newfound sense of freedom but the ability to travel unimpeded to demonstrate mastery of a new technology and even opened careers in mobility. This collection's vintage pieces include rare printed material on women and the automobile a signed license letters and photos from women who drove right over gender barriers explore the new world opening to women in the 20th century. <br/><br/>Leading up to the 20th century automobiles became a symbol of women's increasing social mobility and financial independence. Car makers and dealers realized that a significant number of women wanted and were capable of purchasing their own cars; and so they developed vehicles and marketing campaigns specifically for the female population. This collection's early 1913 brochure "To the American Woman" represents this trend and it declares that "the automobile . is of the greatest use to the woman.because of the importance of her work a woman's need for saving time and effort is imperative." The car saved wives and mothers time as they executed familial duties. It also provided some single women with independent incomes. As young women purchased their own vehicles some used the technology to support themselves by becoming mechanics and chauffeurs. These women are represented in this collection by a 1923 "Motor Magazine" with coverage on women car owners a vintage photo of the first woman to motor from Africa to London and an original 1929 Professional Chauffeur's License for Vivian Pickard. Pioneering women like those in this collection overcame gender barriers by increasing their mobility taking advantage of opportunities for mechanical and technical education thus opening new possibilities for women in transportation technology. unknown books

Archive of 120 vernacular photographs of the Detroit Grand Prix 1986-1988
N.p.: N.p. 1988. Archive of 120 vernacular borderless color snapshot photographs of the Detroit Grand Prix taken in 1986 1987 and 1988.<br/><br/>In the summer of 1982 the US became the first country to host three World Championship Grands Prix in one season with the older Grand Prix West races in Long Beach and Las Vegas joined by the newly established Detroit Grand Prix in Michigan near the General Motors headquarters. The Detroit race continued to be held annually for the next six years in spite of its growing reputation for its narrow bumpy track a result of the race taking place on a closed street course in downtown Detroit and typically hot humid weather. These factors would ultimately push FISA to declare the track unsafe ending the circuit's affiliation with Formula One in 1988 to be replaced by the CART-sanctioned Detroit Indy Grand Prix the following year. <br/><br/>The photographs in the archive document an attendee's perspective of the races from 1986-1988 won all three years by Brazilian champion driver Ayrton Senna. The photographs are taken from both the main grandstand and the garages with views of the vibrant car designs downtown cityscape and track layout on full display. An uncommonly thorough look at three successive years in the race's history more broadly capturing the end result of Formula One's attempts to expand internationally throughout the decade.<br/><br/>Photographs 5.25 x 3.5 inches housed in three separate envelopes grouping the photographs by year 1986 1987 and 1988.

Several of the owners are local but most are scattered across the country Canada and even Russia. A few photos depict the full fleet of a company's trucks lined up proudly in front of factories warehouses and storefronts.

Auto Industry
U.S. Sales and Marketing book for English Ford
np ca. 1957-1958. Hardcover. Very good. 4to. Black three-ring binder with illustrated title label to front containing 17 loosely plastic covered paper leaves profusely filled both recto and verso with black and white photographs and materials on the English Ford line of automobiles. More than 35 various scrap and ephemera elements in all. Front cover moderately worn discolored. Some wrinkling and warping internally. Overall very good. <br/><br/>Fascinating salesman's catalogue produced by British Ford marketing their cars to American dealerships. Struggling financially Post-WWII Britain enacted an "Export or Die" mandate for its domestic carmakers in hopes of injecting more stable currencies into its economy. This act mandated aggressive sales in foreign markets and especially in The United States. Ford of Britain had operated as a subsidiary of the Ford Motor Company since 1909 producing an entirely different line from its American division. Since it was indeed a British car manufacturer Ford was forced compete with itself. These materials date from a 1957-1958 push aimed at getting existing U.S. Ford dealerships to sell and service the cars of their English counterpart. Included are specification sheets and sample advertisements for the various models: 10 approximately 8" x 10" black and white promotional photographs a body color chart with paint samples dealer pricing and cost sheets with option breakdowns and import costs analysis charts comparing the Anglia and Prefect that's right the Ford Prefect with comparable and competing European imports blank sales forms a service policy paint mixing formulas and a list of the financial spatial and service requirements of potential dealers. The modest sales of English Ford passenger cars in the U.S. peaked in 1958-1959 at approximately 75000 compared with an estimated 1.5 million units sold by Ford USA in 1957 alone. Numbers limped along through the 1960's with the last model The Cortina discontinued in 1971. A rare surviving source from an unusual chapter in American and British automotive history as well as a uncommon example of marketing and trade automobiliana. hardcover books
