I picked up a few well preserved car magazines from the 1960s. The classified ads are quite interesting.

Ahh..the 38' BMW 328 roadster, do you realise that one of those won the Australian Grand Prix back in 1948?

Father in laws new daily to replace his Shelby GT350. I didn’t even know Lotus had a new car.
And yes, the A-pillar trim piece is already detaching. Guess quality hasn’t improved lol.

LOL, I remember those days, kinda... One forgets (or perhaps never knew) that back then, you had to buy film, take pictures, pay to get it developed, pay for prints, and then pay for postage to mail the stuff to a potential buyer that wasn't local. So yeah, it really wasn't that unusual to ask someone to cover the nominal cost.

And, I presume, to reduce the number of tire kickers.
