This substantial 15-issue collection of Car Classics magazines, published by Car Classics Publishing Co., offers a rich and nostalgic journey through the golden era of classic and collectible motoring. Spanning the early to late 1970s—with an additional later April 1979 issue (Car Collector and Car Classics)—the set captures a formative period in automotive enthusiasm, when interest in vintage, pre-war, and early post-war vehicles was rapidly gaining momentum among collectors. The selection includes a strong run of issues from 1976 and 1977, alongside earlier and later highlights, providing both continuity and variety.
Renowned as The Journal of Automobile Collecting, Car Classics was at the forefront of documenting significant marques, restoration culture, and collector trends. Across these issues, readers will find detailed features on iconic manufacturers such as Packard, Cadillac, Lincoln, Porsche, Alfa Romeo, Rolls-Royce, and Bentley, alongside in-depth articles on coachbuilders, concours events, historical retrospectives, and technical insights. Special collector's issues further enhance the set, with themed explorations including "The Porsche," "The Packard Years," and "Pierce-Arrow 1916-1938," reflecting the magazine's commitment to both scholarship and visual appeal.
Well-illustrated throughout and highly regarded within the classic car community, Car Classics remains an important reference for enthusiasts and historians alike. This 15-volume lot presents an excellent opportunity to acquire a cohesive and visually striking group of period magazines, ideal for collectors, restorers, and admirers of vintage automobiles, particularly those with an interest in American and European classic car heritage."
