1955 Oldsmobile Quarter Century Club Program
|
List Price: $20.00 Our Price: $15.00 You Save $5.00!
|
|
|

This is the 15-page program for the February 12, 1955 Oldsmobile Quarter Century Annual Dinner. This program is in very good to mostly excellent condition.
Every year Oldsmobile in Lansing, MI, hosted a fancy dinner for all the employees who attained 25 years seniority. They were given their 25 year awards at the dinner along with this menu and seating program.
This was done back in the day when corporations appreciated their skilled and non-skilled labor force. In fact, a salaried employees career was stalled, if he didn't do volunteer work in the local community in some way.
Don't you roll your eyes--I'm not kidding! That really is the way it was in these big GM towns like here in Flint, MI., before the mid 1960's.
When the owner of Factory Automanuals, Dan Bower, went on supervision at the old AC Spark Plug back in 1976, he was forced to give money every month to the fund for the Hurly Hospital Burn Unit. When he asked his general foreman about it, he said, "Well, that's the way it is! In fact, supervisors used to have to join the Republican Party--but we don't force it anymore".
Folks, this country would be better off, if companies today told their leadership to involve themselves in the local community!

This is a very well-done 1969 re-issue of a very well-known book that was actually published in 1904 celebrating all the different automobiles then being made.
This one has an introduction by Ken Purdy who gives a several page history of the cars and the industry that the first book was published in the midst of, then launches into the great drawings of those genuine antiques.
Condition of this book is excellent, and the paper jacket shows some ageing and light soiling. This is truly a fine book for the fan of genuine antique cars.

"Gasoline Age" by JP Edmonds:ON PHOTO PAPER
|
|
|

This "book" was de-accessioned by the Olds Museum in Lansing, MI and is not bound, but is perfectly "copied" on Kodak photo paper. My theory is that someone wanted a perfect copy and even xerox copies (if they yet existed) did such poor quality that they decided to photograph each page to keep it sharp and clear.
Also, the original they had, had an autograph by Olds.
Anyway, this book was written as a historical tribute to Ransom E. Odls, and it touches on the stages of his life and the book ends with the 1940 Achievement Citation from the "Automobile Old Timers Association".

GM Annual Reports began with the colorful covers only about 1947 and continue even today. The 1946 and back issues didn't have any color photos and are quite rare today.
The 1958 issue is the most sought after for its great artwork that covers the front and back as one picture.
These show color pictures of the following years models. So if you have a 1960 GM car, you would want the 1959 issue and so on. There are collectors who try to gather every issue!
