VINTAGE 1952 AUTO SPEED AND SPORT MAGAZINE GROUP LOT - 9 ISSUES**
Up for sale is a fantastic, highly collectible group lot of nine (9) vintage issues of "Auto Speed and Sport" magazine from its historic 1952 run. Published by automotive media pioneer Robert E. Petersen, this incredibly short-lived title only ran for a total of 14 issues between January 1952 and February 1953, making large chunks of the run like this extremely difficult to find together.
