Hard-to-find original publication!


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


Original vintage Softcover published in 1955 with 23 pgs . . . a Factory published catalog.


Midget Motors was located in Athens, Ohio


This is a RARE issue of "The Midget Motors Directory," a bi-monthly sales listing, trading post and parts locator for owners of gasoline motors, Midget racers, Midget cars, motor scooters, motorcycles, motor bicycles and small-engine power equipment!


Interesting story to the “Directory” . . . a vehicle for selling Midget Motors products as well as “form in one handbook, all of the bargains in small vehicles and equipment on which we can obtain information . . . we do not charge for listing any small motorized vehicle in the directory . . .


In addition to the company’s advertisements for their products, this contains Classifieds of people who are trying to sell their Indian Motorscooters . . . Briggs engines . . . Harley Davidsons ~ Johnson Outboard motors ~ Cushman scooters etc.


That 1952 Harley Davidson 125 with 10,000 miles will cost you $200! Or perhaps you prefer the 1947 Doodlebug motorscooter for $60 or the 1952 Whizzer motorbike for $150 . . .

The Dart Motorscooter – new 1954 design

Mile-A-Way Midget Racer


“ . . . The Directory has not, so far proven profitable financially but we have made a great many friends who look forward to each issue . . .”


I show you a LOT of excerpts and pictures below!


CONDITION: ~ A very good copy – complete and tightly bound with no writing ~ the outside covers are also good – some edge tears and scuffing – this was sent through the mail originally . . .

Alfa Romeo Giulietta Diesel: The middle child

Fri, 04 Feb 2011

Alfa Romeo Giulietta Diesel 138bhp Alfa Romeo seem to be doing much right – and much less wrong – than ever before. Yet they also seem to be floundering and struggling to make the volume of sales they need to be viable. Maybe buyers are still expecting Alfas to break before breakfast and disintegrate in to a mass of perforated panels inside the first year.

Help Kickstart this book of 75 top designers' innermost thoughts

Thu, 19 Sep 2013

New material from interviews with over 75 of the world's most talented designers of all disciplines will feature in a new book from the maker of the design documentaries 'Helvetica', 'Objectified' and 'Urbanized'. For the three documentaries director Gary Hustwit recorded over a hundred hours of interviews but less than three hours were used. But instead of keeping the treasure trove secret, he has collated them into a new book, ‘Helvetica/Objectified/Urbanized: The Complete Interviews' so designers in all fields can share in them.
