I have kept all my magazines, I still have some that I bought in the mid-sixties.
I also still have a few new car sales brochures that I collected in the sixties and early seventies. It wasn't easy getting them sent down here to New Zealand back then, I would write letters to the big three in Detroit and they would always send me some brochures with their new models. It was very exciting for a young teenager back then waiting for them to arrive.

I'll check with my VFW friend who has many VA contacts at the SEATTLE Hospital...But I would have thought that magazine publishers flood the VA Hospitals with FREE magazines ?????

'

Covid cleanliness did away w/ magazines at Hospitals also waiting rooms for most anything so best confirm specific facility policies before dropping good stuff off anywhere.
MCACN seems a good place to bring modest amounts to share w/ fellow members also others if someone willing w/ booth space?
Gotta mention how Steve's been doing an awesome job posting interesting old mag articles lately, thanks Steve!

I've got thousands of car magazines from the early 60's on up that I've been collecting since I was 13 and I'll never get rid of them. I get just as big a kick going through them as I do driving my old cars so the kids can donate or sell them when I'm gone. They take up a lot of space but I keep them in labeled clear plastic totes in my utility room so they're out of everyone else's way at least.

I went though my old car magazines when selling my folks' house a few years ago. I recognized a '69 Chevelle owned by a member here in an article in Muscle Car Review. Sent him a PM and sent the magazine off to him. You never know.

Some great suggestions. Wish I had thought of them at the time.

Default Vintage Auto Mags Dispositions

Interesting Topic.
I can relate as a Magazine subscriber.
Also as a survivor of a Father that had Years of Vintage Car, Truck and Gasoline engine Mags.
When it did come time (2005) to resolve my Dads paper collections I could NOT just recycle the lot. I sought out like minded Old Timer Friends of his and donated them to their homes-shops and garages. Titles like, Skinned Knuckles, Earlyday Gas Engines, American Truck Wheels of Time, Cars & Parts, HET; Hudson Essex Terraplane Etc. (Titles from memory and may be very inaccurately quoted) It has taken Years to distribute them. I found the Vendors at Swap meets were less than receptive. So Efforts to locate Folks from His Vintage Car club have been my chosen path.

I wonder Where my decades of USCC Camaro Enthusiast and Camaro Corral mags will end up in the long run

I am member 1030 in the NCRS. Thus I have every contiguous Driveline and Corvette Restorer issue since 1974. I know the pool of anyone interested in those someday is extremely small, but I can't help myself from renewing every year to keep the run alive.
