Issue #2 AutoMobilia Resource Magazine

AutomobiliaMonterey
What a whirlwind the past 6 weeks has been with events on both coasts!  Car Week in CA included Automobilia Monterey, held at the Embassy Suites, Seaside, where the focus is on original memorabilia.  Artwork, badges, books, model cars, photos, posters, sculptures and so much more are available from 40 vendors from all over the world.  In 2019, this event will expand to 3 days.  Find out more about new times at automobiliamonterey.com
​

Artist Robert Carter at Automobilia Monterey 2018. Oil on canvas limited edition giclées. Will do private commissions. Each impressively beautiful piece takes 60-80 hours. More info at robertcarterartwork.com
Hugh Ruthven of The Finish Line, at Automobilia Monterey 2018, had some beautiful St. Christopher medals from ‘20s to ‘60s, mostly in the art deco style.  St. Christopher is the Patron Saint of Travel, and has been seen in many cars, blessing their safety and travel.  Typically affixed to wood or metal dashboards with screws – so they wouldn’t be stolen.  
​

​Most produced in France and cloisonné. Prices range from $70 to $500.  847-382-3020  or thefinishlinestore.com

Also new to the motorsport art scene is Graham Perry. His work was available in limited quantities at Porsche Rennsport Renunion VI. You may contact him directly at curvaparabolica.com.
AutoSocksAmyMarkle
Socks! They are the hottest thing around.  At least 3 vendors had them at Rennsport.  If you missed buying them in person you can purchase socks from Jim Hazen thedriverssociety.com, Eric Horton striipedesign.com and heeltoesocks.com. Porsche and Audi sell official socks, maybe your favorite car manufacturer does too.

Perhaps the most creative automobilia was a Martini Racing umbrella signed by drivers at Porsche Rennsport Reunion VI at Laguna Seca.
JCCS_JapaneseClassicCarShowLogo2018
JCCS - Japanese Classic Car Show in Long Beach, CA had a good number of automobilia shopping opportunities, including numerous high-quality enamel automobile pins from Leencustoms.com and Rexone Custom diecast cars by the box.

The oddest automobilia I found was Coffee, yes coffee.  Four Coffee from AZ was available at Rennsport.  Their Porsche 356 & Coffee shop story can be found at fourtillfour.com.  
​

New Books Coming Soon: Gulf 917 by Jay Gillotti published by Dalton Watson Fine Books, and IMSA 1969-1989 by Mitch Bishop and Mark Raffauf published by Octane Press.  Look for both books where you can find us next at the GoMotorbooks/PeopleKars booth during the Rolex 24 at Daytona, Jan 25-27, 2019.

See you "On-the-Road"
