Before a run it will be necessary to apply a suitable lubricant to the nipples if wear is to be avoided
Enjoy yourself, it's later than you think!

Not as risqué as 1929, Tony!

It's interesting that the artist signs himself with one 't', but all the Google references are with two 't's.

What mag is it exactly? Not the UK Motor? What show is referred to? I suppose a lady wishing for a handsome prince would be happier witha green Seven than a frog. I presumed it Tony's handiwork. What car if any was there originally? It is not even a Bantam.

Only by the addition of an Box Saloon....

It's the American "Motor" magazine. I've no idea what the car is - but I bet that somebody I know very well does...

Probably just a generic illustration, but it has shades of Chrysler, Graham and Auburn.

Re the original, if I had spent more of my youth focussed on the object at left instead of right my life could have been very different. Although it has given me a life long interes in something which in old age I can do more justice to...
