A Merry Christmas from "The Austin"

[Tony Griffiths]

One day, one day (without going to the Alps) it would be wonderful to replicate this cover.

A rather evil looking Santa who looks somewhat familiar. LED light globes for Christmas?

Hi Tony great image what year did the magazine come out originally

[squeak]

I believe 'The Advocate' transitioned to 'The Austin Magazine' in 1927.  I have vol1 edition 1 (new series) Oct 1927. Big things were happening in Austin publishing as 'The Service Journals ' started in April 1927 as well.

What a splendid image Tony!  As you’ve mentioned in another post, the Seven is great in snow, I remember taking my Chummy to work through thick snow and driving it like it was just another day...it was a touch chilly with the hood down though!

Which reminds me on the old forum we used to have the annual Christmas image posted, like the Chummy under a foot of snow, there were some great images posted...

1929. Yes, it's a super picture - though Santa does look a little odd. It's only a low-resolution image I had to play with, but I've boosted some of the details and added a few other touches.

Hi,
Look like an editing on old image but still looking great, My grandfather had that same Car on him picture, almost 25 years ago.
Thanks for sharing with us Tony.

Christmassy enough for you, Ivor?
