c. 1904 “The Pneumatic Tyre and the Motorcar, 1894-1904” Promotional Booklet by Michelin & Co.
Just as we get excited about consumables that survive the test of time in their original packaging, we also appreciate a rare book - and it’s hard to come by something rarer than this 52-page promotional magazine detailing Michelin’s role in the earliest days of the automobile, complete with two spectacular color plates and dozens of black-and-white photographs of racing specials and road cars of the day.
This extremely fragile little book measures approximately 9.5”x7”, and is a great addition to any brass-era or veteran car collection. More of a museum piece than a reader, it’s best to minimize handling, with its tissue paper cover being very susceptible to creasing and tears.
