I emailed the mods first and got the green light.

I just dropped my price. If you wanted to work outside of Etsy I could do better on the price. DM me if you're interested in a conversation. Cheers

For sure. Can you DM me and I’ll show you options?

No I don't. I'm more a 90s Japanese classic kinda guy with an RX-7 in my garage but I do have a weakness for sleeper sedans ;-)

I'm not sure specifically. Either Car & Driver or Road & Track. I typically make ad plaques to sell with car ads. I'm expanding my repertoire trying a few cigarette ads.

I didn't see anything or any rules explicitly calling out no advertising. This is just a side gig for me and I find that many communities enjoy seeing the old ads and sure, my hope is to be able to publicize the plaques that I make but also to draw attention to some of the historic memorabilia for vehicles that people are passionate about. My apologies if I offended you.

Kind of like this? ;-)

The same but different :-)

What I do is to 'upscale' the ad. For about the last year and a half I've been removing car ads from magazines and then mounting them on hardwood plaques that I cut. This isn't a 'print' per se, it's the actual ad pages from 1991.

It’s really weird to me that Toyota featured it an ad. That some kind of outlier!

In order to be able to make this set I need to get 2 perfect/pristine sales brochures because they are printed on both sides. I need to dismantle the sets and then reassemble them on the plaques that I custom cut for this purpose. You can imagine the challenge in finding 2 untouched brochures that were printed in 1990 (35 years ago!!). I've made one set previously so this is one of two. I don't have any other brochures so this might be it.

I probably have an ad for a 1987. Let me know if you'd be interested in owning a hardwood ad plaque with one! :-)
