Old Mopar Car Ads
Being a Fury and a Shoebox owner, a lot of old car ads came up at a local auction and I just had to have them. These are great to hang on your wall. Here are a few of the Mopar ones. Most are 11 x 14, but some are smaller standard magazine size. Will come in a sleeve with an acid free backer board. I personally frame these and hang them throughout the garage and house. Father n law loves the one I made him (last picture.) Also have hundreds more from GM, Ford, AMC, Hudson, Jeep, Willy’s,…

Called, made an offer and the next day I drove it home. I was told over the phone they knew the guy that sold it to them and it was clean title. When I got home I realized it was signed and printed in the wrong spot. Speedway Salvage dodged me and wouldn’t return my call, even went down there and was stonewalled….
