Vintage Lot of 12 Mechanix Illustrated Magazines Issues 1941

Description: Vintage Lot of 12 Mechanix Illustrated Magazines The How-To-Do-It Magazine 1941-1974 Issues with Tom McCahill car commentary Mechanix Illustrated is an American printed magazine that was originally published by Fawcett Publications. Its title was founded in 1928 to compete against the older Popular Science and Popular Mechanics. Billed as "The How-To-Do Magazine," Mechanix Illustrated (MI) aimed to guide readers through various projects from home improvements and advice on repairs to "build-your-own (sports car, telescope, helicopter, etc)." Although it featured many how-to articles, the most eagerly awaited and read features were Tom McCahill's monthly automobile tests which ran from the late 1940s to the early 1970s. McCahill's feisty opinions were delivered in a prose laced with similes that are still quoted today among car enthusiasts: "As anyone brighter than a rusty spike must know..."; flooring the accelerator pedal on a certain car is "...like stepping on a wet sponge"; the clock/tachometer combination on another car is "...about as useful as feathers on a moose." Each issue is around 150 pages - Some Illustrated Pages - Loaded With Vintage Advertising We have lots of vintage, antique, and new magazines in the store.
