Is there a market for such brochures and other automotive literature here in the Atlanta area? I have a ton of the stuff and I am afraid I need to thin it out a bit for the sake of domestic tranquility (and solvency). Those facts aside, when I lived in Pasadena while at Art Center there was an annual event in the parking lot of the local community college to buy and sell automotive literature and such. It was a BIG deal and there were dozens and dozens of vendors (professionals and hobbyists). Great fun for all. Do you think something like that would fly here? I have been mulling this over for years and have thought about doing it in connection with the Georgia Tech Auto Show folks but we have our hands full with that show ... and the whole higher education thing. Perhaps we could even tie it in with some charity so that some percentage of all sales will go to a cause. Just a little brainstorming. What do you think?

1948 Rover P3 Saloon
The 1948 Rover P3 Saloon marked a pivotal moment in the evolution of British motoring. Introduced in the immediate aftermath of World War II, the P3 was a bridge between prewar craftsmanship and the modern engineering ethos that would come to define Rover’s future.
