A 1940s fantastic piece of early American automotive history featuring the 1896 Ford Quadricycle and the First Oldsmobile, 1897.
This striking 20\" x 25.75\" thicker paper rolled poster features bold, oversized Victorian Revival-style typography with intricate ornamental scrollwork and decorative outlining. The lower portion illustrates two historically important automobiles:
Ford\'s First Car — 1896 — caption states that it was in perfect running condition and on display at the Henry Ford Museum, Dearborn, Michigan
First Oldsmobile — 1897 — caption states that the car was on display at the Smithsonian Institution, Washington, D.C.
The combination of the dramatic typography, period automotive illustrations, and historical captions makes this an especially interesting piece for automotive collectors, Ford collectors, Oldsmobile collectors, transportation-history enthusiasts, and vintage advertising/poster collectors. Never hung. The poster remains highly displayable, and the large decorative lettering and automobile illustrations present beautifully.
A great candidate for framing and display.
I have photographed the actual item you will receive. Please use the photos as the primary reference for condition.
This isn\'t simply a generic automobile print — it specifically brings together two landmark American automobiles from the earliest days of motoring, the 1896 Ford and 1897 Oldsmobile, with references to their museum collections.
A terrific vintage automotive wall-display piece with plenty of visual impact and historical appeal.
