AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

I am offering 13 issues of the magazine "Automobilia", from issue 447 of October 1942 to issue 466 of May 1944.
The magazine "Automobilia" appeared on February 1, 1917 under the name "L'automobile aux armées" which it kept until issue 39 of Christmas 1918, to become "Automobilia" from No. 40 of January 15, 1919, biweekly; it became monthly in 1931 and experienced at the beginning of World War II a sporadic publication, before resuming a monthly schedule from 1941, until the last issue published in 1956.
In 1957, it was taken over by the magazine “Moteurs,” as well as its major competitor “La Vie Automobile” (1903-1956), whose last issue was December 1956.
The last issue before the war will be number 427, August–September 1939.
The magazine reappeared with issue No. 428 of February under the name L'Automobile aux armées, continuing through issue No. 432 in June 1940, during the Phoney War, and resumed its monthly cadence with issue No. 433 in August 1941 until its disappearance in December 1956.
The 13 issues proposed are those published from October 1942 to January 1943, from May to September 1943 and from February to May 1944.
The issues published from 1941 to 1945 are, as one would understand, easily nearly impossible to find since their print runs were very limited. They contain numerous articles by the cyclecar and automobile manufacturers Marcel Violet and Emile Claveau, automotive news in France but also in non-occupied countries such as the USA, and many future automotive projects.
This batch of hard-to-find issues will be of keen interest to historians and discerning enthusiasts.
