Popular Science Monthly February and May 1951 Magazine Bundle Wilbur Shaw Plymouth Little Cars
$24.99
This bundle includes two original Popular Science Monthly magazines, Mechanics and Handicraft, from February 1951 (Vol. 158 No. 2) and May 1951, published by Popular Science Publishing Co. in New York, and both issues shown are included in the sale.
The February front cover has a small rip that only shows when the cover is moved, so it still displays well, and the May front cover has great graphics and color, while the back covers of both issues show wear.
The February issue features "Can Death Sand Win Battles?" and "Wilbur Shaw Drives 1951 Plymouth," with Reynold Brown cover art of the new Plymouth, and the May issue features "How to Paper a Room" and Wilbur Shaw on "How Good Are the Little Cars?" This old science magazine pair is packed with the how to projects, car reports, and retro advertising Popular Science is known for.

Yes. Every photo is the actual piece, taken by me. When it sells, it is gone.
