True Genuine Vintage Circa 1952 Three Panel (Front and Back) Color Sales Tri-Fold Sales Brochure for Eddie Edmunds HI-Speed Power Equipment." EDMUNDS EQUIPMENT IS THE ANSWER CHUM!" Specific market is the Chrysler MoPaR Owners for this Scarce Brochure. There is only one thing more scarce than finding Edmunds Hi-Compression Aluminum Heads and Dual Intakes and that is the Sales Brochures for them! Extremely Scarce to find. "YOU'LL GET A NEW THRILL OUT OF DRIVING". I know Literature dealers that have several tons of auto paper but they do not have this piece. Excellent Condition. 4 Pages Folded. Measures 8.5" x 5.5". Eddie Edmunds was a High Performance Expert that was way ahead of his time back in the early 1950s. Performance Historians will probably debate a lot on the Edmunds Legend which is shrouded in mystery as so little is known. From what little I know, it goes like this. Eddie Edmunds' foresight was not with the racer but with the regular "Joe" who purchased ordinary cars of the time such as Hudson, Packard, Nash, Lincoln, Mercury, Lincoln, Kaiser Frazer and all other Domestic Makes. He wanted to fit brand new cars with his products which basically consisted of three major components of the engine: Dual Carburetors, Hi Compression Heads and Bird Bath Style Air Cleaners to match the carbs. He secured a loan with the Federal Government with which he purchased a large warehouse on Stoner Avenue in Los Angeles. Interesting enough the building is shown on the back of this brochure yet with a Valley Stream, New York Address. It is rumored that Edmunds employed up to 50 workers during this "Hey Day" and cranked out his products. There are documented photos that show Edmunds standing along stacks of aluminum heads during this time. His wife at the time was a graphic artist who was most likely involved in the production of these Brochures which were quite unusual back then. The sad part of the story is that Edmunds, although ahead of his time, was also out of time. He defaulted on the government loan and went bankrupt. By 1959, he had totally disappeared from the Performance Euipment manufacturing altogether. In fact from 1959-1969 (his death), no one really knows anything about the man. It is particularly sad to note that this was a man that should have enjoyed a dynasty like the Iskendarians and the Edelbrocks, but did not. Many surmise that his products did not meet the quality and/or government specs and others felt that his reported lifestyle of booze and women did him in, or maybe it was a combination of both. It is reported that his inventory was either sold off or melted down for scrap. Today it is extremely scarce to find an Edmunds intake or head. If you do it is usually for large money. Many Speed shops that have them actually use them as wall hangers as opposed to putting them on engines. This particular sales piece marketed to the MoPar owners. Very Clever Advertising. Please note that I will be listing several other Edmunds sales brochures that for Ford, Lincoln/Mercury, Kaiser Frazer, Packard, Nash, etc. I have recently come across what may actually be the best (and perhaps most complete) Edmunds Sales Brochure Collection in existence. I will running each individually to cater to each marque. Edmunds was a creative marketeer as the brochures show. He extensively used bar graphs, color, artist drawings of his products, emotion-filled faces, a B&W Photo of himself, a picture of his factory as well as the Edmunds "Coat of Arms" on almost all of his Brochures. This is a Rare Collectible. A Nice addition to any early Hi-Performance Memorabilia Collection. It is fresh to the market and hasn't been hauled back & forth to Hershey or Carlisle 14 times. Shipping is flat rate envelope for $5.25 anywhere in the U.S.A. Additional will be required for shipping outside the USA. Thanks for checking out our eBay site.

Fiat Panda 4x4

Thu, 30 Aug 2012

Fiat has unveiled a new 4x4 version of the third-generation Panda, which is set to make its world debut at the 2012 Paris motor next month. The 4x4 line of the Panda has a long history and in its previous itterations became known as one of the most versatile, robust but also likeable cars on the road. The default mode of transport for Southern European hill farmers, the Panda 4x4 has also developed something of a cult following in trendier Alpine resorts thanks to its functional-tough body clad aesthetic and handy small size.

Two Car Design China Award 2012 winners won the fantastic opportunity to spend two weeks in Coventry's Automotive Design department. We headed to Coventry to find out how Cao Chengang, a Tongji University graduate, and Gao Zhigiang, currently studying at Huazhong University of Science and Technology, are finding their time in the UK. After shaking off their jet lag they rolled their sleeves up and began an intense project under the watchful eye of the Art and Design school's senior lecturers.

Visual arts students vs. in-car technology

Thu, 09 May 2013

The automobile's natural technological evolution has gone from basics like wipers and headlights to high-tech infotainment systems that map your route, locate the nearest Starbucks, report weather and traffic, and stream personal music libraries. Yet many of these systems are difficult and distracting to use. So we wondered: Of the infotainment systems out there, is there even one achieving its connectivity goals better than the rest?
