Description from the seller
The press on classic cars in France dates back to the mid-1960s (L'Album du Fanatique de l'Automobile, L'Automobiliste, L'Anthologie Automobile, L'Enthousiaste and L'Amateur d'Automobiles Anciennes, the latter title being the rarest).
On February 8, 1956, in Lyon, the "Association des teuf teuf lyonnais" was founded, which became on November 20, 1956 the "Les Amateurs d'Automobiles Anciennes" and was the first Club for classic cars in France (apart from the "Club des Teuf Teuf", created in 1935). Henri Malartre (creator of the Rochetaillée museum) and historian Lucien Loreille were its main co-founders.
From 1966 (the year that saw the appearance of L'Album du Fanatique" and "L'Automobiliste"), the 3A (the club's simplified name) founded a magazine, which was originally intended for club members, but from the first issue of 1966 was available to all enthusiasts of old cars, by ordering it directly from the Club.
I here present the full set of 18 issues that were accessible to non-members. I also include 4 issues that were available only to members, the magazine appearing only once a year, numbers 20 to 23, extremely rare. The magazine continued to exist, with a very irregular publication schedule (Issue 24, for example, appeared only six years after 23); its last issue was in 2010, number 33.
The set of the first 18 issues (from 1966 to 1975) is today unobtainable.
This magazine was on par with the "Automobiliste", the "Fanatique de l'Automobile", and the "Anthologie automobile". It added an extra touch by covering a number of the 160 automobile manufacturers from the Lyon region."
