After rereading the listing I think MAYBE these are prints made from the original artwork, not the original artwork.
I’ve seen this before in Old Cars Weekly.
These were in a hand drawn book by Tadd Burness or a name something like that, maybe named Auto Album. Like the above poster said, I’ve seen ad in HMN and Old Cars
Tad Burness Auto Album it is, Glenn. I spent a while in Google searches and Ebay searches to find that these poster prints are pretty hard to find. I wonder what the real history of them is, and why the seller didn’t include the Auto Album references or the Artists name. Tad is no longer with us as of November, and he inspired many a young car collector to be back in the 70’s with those newspaper features, which were in the comic section of many papers back in the day. I had a collection of them when I was a teen.
Threre are many of his books still listed on Ebay, and I have a feeling all his stuff is going to be as collectible as the Henry Gregor Felsen books and that jeep classic, Year of The Jeep.
This must be a print, the one linked on eBay above has already been sold and the seller already has another listed.
I just sent a message to the seller of this print on eBay and asked if he had another one he could sell to me. He sent back a re-listed item number, so I bought it. I think that’s the third one he’s sold in a few days – so chances are there are more where those came from!
