True Genuine Vintage Circa 1952 Four Page Color Sales Brochure for Eddie Edmunds HI-Speed Power Equipment. YOU'VE WAITED A LONG TIME FOR THIS AND NOW AT LAST A FUEL PRESSURE REGULATOR FOR YOUR CARBURETOR. Dramatic Artist rendering of an old man standing with a cane Cover. This is a generic brochure that tells of a new product that Edmunds was marketing back in the day. Atypical, it does not target a specific car manufacturer. 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. 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. This an earlier brochure than the others that I have listed as the Stoner Avenue address in West Los Angeles is shown. 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 guy 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. Very Clever Advertising. Please note that I will be listing several other Edmunds sales brochures that for catger to owners of 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, 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.

Mazda Minagi concept

Wed, 19 Jan 2011

Mazda is set to reveal a new concept at the 81st Geneva motor show in March. Called the Minagi, the concept previews a new entry-level compact crossover, which will likely be called the CX-5 when it makes its production debut in Frankfurt later this year. The compact SUV is alleged to 'fully embrace' both Mazda’s Skyactiv technologies as well as the Kodo design language that debuted on the Shinari concept late last year.

Mercedes GLA: New B Class SUV in 2013

Sun, 06 May 2012

Mercedes GLA based on the new B Class (pictured) Another Mercedes niche car based on the new A Class platform will arrive in 2013 as the compact SUV Mercedes GLA. Mercedes’ nomenclature has got confusing in recent years so it’s quite hard to pin down exactly what they’re likely to call a new car we know is coming but which isn’t yet official. But it does now seem clear that the compact SUV we’ll see from Mercedes in 2013 – and based on the same platform as the new A and B Class – will be the Mercedes GLA.

Porsche will show off the new supersized, beefcake 911 Turbo S at the 2010 Geneva motor show. It’s the 911 Turbo aimed at that greedy niche who think the standard car isn’t fast enough. Which presumably consists of one Herr Rohrl.
