Subscriber refund options form, Jun 1, 2026.

Sadly...After 8 years, edition 47 (Jul/Aug ’26) will be our LAST print edition.
Between several large cost increases from the war and our ongoing battle with Parkinson’s Disease, we will no longer be able to continue publishing in print. Stopping our printed edition was NOT an easy decision to make, but it is time we move forward.
We will keep our broadcast e-mail, website and social media pages, offering editorials/news/etc. to continue to promote our hobby/business as a whole and encourage preserving automotive history. See below in RED for more details on that.
We appreciate very much all the support from our subscribers for the last 8 years, and wish we could have kept on printing! We've put together 4 options which you may choose from for the unfulfilled portion of your subscription:
1 – Switch subscription to Check The Oil Magazine - prints 6x a year - focused on the Petroliana Industry/Hobby since 1983. For more information about the magazine go to https://checktheoil.com/
(i.e. - if you still have 5 issues to go on your subscription you will receive Check The Oil Magazine instead for 5 more issues.)
2 – Credit of $7 per issue left in your subscription to order back issues (which we sell for $7 per edition plus shipping) or to use in our online store. If you pick this option, we will send you a code which will take the amount off your purchase in our store. We've updated our store to include many new items which we accumulated during the course of publishing AutoMobilia.
(i.e. - if you still have 5 issues to go on your subscription you will receive a coupon code for $35 off for either back issues or in our store.)
3 – Option to donate $5 per issue left in your subscription to Parkinson’s – we would match this up to $5000. If you pick this option, we will notify you once all the donations are in, of how much your donation was, and how much total was raised and sent to the Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson's Research.
(i.e. - if you still have 5 issues to go on your subscription we will donate $25 for you and $25 from us or $50 total to Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson's Research.)
4 – Option for cash back of $4 per issue. If you pick this option, we will automatically either credit that amount to your credit card (if paid by card), or send by check (if paid by check). If you card is no longer working or you prefer a check, please put that in COMMENTS.
(i.e. - if you still have 5 issues to go on your subscription you will receive a $20 refund either by card or check.)

We ask for your patience, as all of these options will take time for us to fulfill. We will do our best to go as fast as we can, and if you have any requests, etc., just let us know. We are sincerely sorry we couldn't keep the print magazine publishing longer, but we simply do not have the resources needed (time or money) to keep it going.
