This vintage 1974 advertising calendar was produced for Quakertown Auto Sales in Pennsylvania and features imagery of automobiles from 1918. It combines local Pennsylvania business advertising with historic automotive imagery, making it an interesting piece of automotive and regional Americana.

Advertising calendars were a popular promotional item for businesses throughout the 20th century. Companies would distribute calendars to customers and local residents as useful advertising pieces that could remain on display throughout the year.

The 1918 automobile imagery adds historical appeal, offering a glimpse at early automotive design and the vehicles associated with the pioneering years of the automobile industry.

Overall in amazing condition. The first page is yellowed from exposure but the rest are still pretty wide. No tears or bends in the paper. Listed as used but looks as though it was never hung. I will ship flat so it doesn’t curl.
