Celebrate the spirit of classic motoring with this vintage collectible pinback button from the 1989 New London to New Brighton Antique Car Run. This round button prominently features a detailed illustration of an early automobile, reminiscent of a Benz Patent-Motorwagen, with a driver in period attire, set against a vibrant yellow sun-like background. The design is framed by a bold Union Jack flag, adding a distinctive British heritage aesthetic, even for an event in the USA.
The button's face is a celluloid overlay on a tin base, showcasing the event's name "New London to New Brighton" and "Antique Car Run," along with the specific dates "Aug. 26-27" and the year "1989." The reverse side features a secure safety pin closure, indicating its original purpose as an event souvenir or commemorative item. This piece captures a moment in time for automotive enthusiasts and collectors of vintage event memorabilia.
