Car magazines from the fifties and sixties

[Ralph Spears]

Is there any value in these at all i have about 100 of them need to clean out some things from the house

Good Question, Ralph. I have about 1,500 great old magazines from 1960 to 1974 and the cost of shipping is more than they are worth. I see my kids tossing them in recycling after I'm gone. I'd love to hear what others think on this subject.

I've tried several times to give mine away and can't find any takers.

I have over 4000 and no takers at $1 each. :(

Old car magazines with their Test Articles and cool Advertisements are great.

I have stacks also from the late 50’s through the 70’s.

My favorites are the engine bay photos (even though they are black and white) because they show how a Muscle car looked fresh from the factory.

I've been saving car magazines since I got into cars in the mid-80's and have about 3000 that deal mainly with 50's through 70's muscle cars. I put them in labeled plastic totes in my utility room and go through them all the time when I'm looking for something on a specific car and am looking forward to going through them all again when I retire. I'm sure my kids will pitch them after I die when they realize nobody else wants them which makes me a little sad since they've brought me so much joy over the years.

It's a shame there is not much interest in them. I did the same with the magazines I collected for over 25 years. I couldn't find anyone interested in them; not even book sellers at big automotive swap meets.

Great link to old magazines, Lee. Thank you.

I built a small wooden magazine rack in the early 80’s for my most important reads on the GTO.

They are literally falling apart from decades of use.
