AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
I am offering 7 issues of the magazine "Automobilia", 5 Special Issues Auto Show 1946, 1947, 1948, 1949 and 1951, to which I add No. 586 July–August 1956, a special issue on car racing with a broad history on the subject, and No. 486 December 1946, devoted to the small manufacturers of the 1946 Salon with the Georges Irat on the cover, which will unfortunately never be marketed.
The magazine "Automobilia" first appeared on February 1, 1917 under the name "L'automobile aux armées" which it kept until issue 39 of Noël 1918, to become "Automobilia" from No. 40 of 15 January 1919, biweekly; it became monthly in 1931 and experienced, at the start of World War II, a sporadic publication, before resuming a monthly rhythm from 1941, then biweekly from 1954 to the final issue of November–December 1956, No. 588.
In 1957, it was taken over by the magazine "Moteurs", as well as its major rival "La Vie Automobile" (1903–1956), whose last issue was December 1956.
The last issue before the war will be 427, August–September 1939.
The magazine reappeared with No. 428 of February under the name "L'Automobile aux armées", up to No. 432 of June 1940, during "the phoney war" and resumed its monthly rhythm, with No. 433 of August 1941 until its disappearance in December 1956.
The 7 proposed numbers are:
1/ No. 486 December 1948: devoted to the small manufacturers of the 1946 Salon with on the cover the Georges Irat which will unfortunately never be marketed.
2/ No. 586 July–August 1956: a special issue on car racing, with a substantial history on the subject. It is the penultimate issue, the magazine ceasing publication after No. 588 of November–December 1956.
3/ Hors Série du Salon 1946: this issue will be the first of the 5 Hors Série Salon de l’auto published from 1946 to 1950, unnumbered, containing more than 80 pages.
4/ Hors Série du salon 1947, containing more than 100 pages.
5/ Hors Série du Salon 1948, containing more than 90 pages.
6/ Hors Série du Salon 1949, containing 94 pages.
7/ Spécial Salon 1951 No. 544, containing 94 pages.
The Hors Série issues published from 1946 to 1950 are the most complete of any French automotive press of the era and, above all, the rarest, not being included in subscriptions.
This batch of almost unobtainable issues will be of the utmost interest to historians and discerning enthusiasts.
