Magazine - Bugatti - 1966

The press on vintage cars in France goes 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 last 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 Classic Car Club in France (with the exception of the “Club des Teuf Teuf,” created in 1935). Henri Malartre (creator of the Rochetaillée Museum) and historian Lucien Loreille were its principal co-founders.
From 1966 onward (the year that saw the appearance of L'Album du Fanatique and L'Automobiliste), the 3A (the club's shortened name) founded a periodical that was originally intended for club members, but, starting with the first issue in 1966, was available to all vintage-car enthusiasts, by ordering it directly from the Club.
I here offer the complete set of 18 issues that were accessible to non-members. I also include 4 issues that were only accessible to members, the magazine appearing only once a year, issues 20 to 23, extremely rare. The magazine continued to exist, with very erratic publication (Issue 24, for example, appeared only 6 years after Issue 23), its last issue being 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, covering a good number of the 160 automobile manufacturers in the Lyon region.
