Issue #4 AutoMobilia Resource Magazine

Event travel will soon begin in earnest and I look forward to sharing my discoveries with you. In the meantime here are some new products I’ve found for 2019 and some belated finds from 2018.

Automobilia can be found anywhere, even at NY Now, the wholesale trade show held annually in New York City. These race influenced travel bags and accessories are made from recycled car fabrics and seat belts, produced in France, and definitely caught my eye. Entre2retros.com
A trip to the New York Toy Fair in February proved worthwhile this year. Upcoming diecast models were presented by M2, Greenlight, Maisto/Bburago, Carrera and Scalextric slot cars to name a few. Playforever displayed a large selection of their cars which are perfect for kids and kids at heart. Rufus, the racing dog, is one of their newest designs playforever.co.uk

Despite cold rainy weather at the Rolex 24 at Daytona race in January, Mitch Bishop and Mark Raffauf had an exceptional debut of their new book “IMSA 1969-1989”. Both men have a long history with IMSA and their expertise shows in the depth and quality of their writing. They will be attending many IMSA and SVRA races throughout the season. Be sure to pick up a copy and have it signed.

Italian inspired scooters by Ambosstoys will be available in April 2019. Handmade of metal and powder coated for durability, these ride on toys are a timeless design intended to last for many years to come.  Ambosstoys.com
VintageVolkswagenLithoPicnicBox
VW owners have long been leaders in collecting and using unique automobilia. 
​A vintage VW litho picnic box rests on the back seat of Bob & Lucretia Cropsey’s 1950 VW Beetle at the Lime Rock Historic Festival - Gathering of the Marques.

An early VW Beetle sports an original tool kit, another has a rat rod style accessory STOP light attached to the back bumper, and finally there was an oval window Beetle with a ski rack on the engine cover of the car. All three were seen at California’s Solvang Veteranentreffen.

Today images of Volkswagens, and in particular the Bus, can be found on nearly everything! Noteworthy Paper & Press, also at NY Now, had a selection of Camper related items including postcards, notepads, key chains and pins.  The Monster Factory made a limited number VW Bus rolling coolers, the perfect accessory for weekend camping in a Samba. EuroGraphics puzzles produces a selection of car related puzzles which includes one depicting VW Buses.

WinnerCutPlugSmokeChewEarlyRacingBox
Hint: Don’t overlook local auctions & flea markets for automobilia. Raucher Brothers Auctioneers in Florence, MA offered a pair of enamel Esso drip signs in January which sold for more than $900. Brimfield (MA) flea market is a venerable treasure trove, where I saw this Winner Cut Plug Smoke and Chew metal box with a early racing scene.
