1959 Fisher Body Craftsman Guild? Hand Made Models 4 VINTAGE Photo SNAPSHOTS [. C
Item History & Price
4 Found Fotos!
Four (4) Original 20th Century vintage Black & White amateur vernacular snapshot photos. [.cSize: Approximately 3" x 4" ~ see 1" scale ruler in scans.
~~~~~
These photos are from a small collection picturing what I think are hand-built models.
The models were possibly made for entry in the Fisher Body Craftsman Guild scholarship contests, sponsored by GM.Boys and teenagers from age 11 to 20 were invited to participate in comp...etitions held annually from 1930 to 1968.
Some of the contest winners went on to become full-size auto designers.
This photographer set up 2 cars in a suburban front yard. One photo has a 1959 Ford in the background.
Another snapshot has an edge date from the photofinisher: "MAR-59"
Focus is not the greatest, although the photographer did try to obtain some depth-of-focus effect.
Images: Four views of two model cars, posed on a driveway in a suburban yard.
One car slightly resembles a 1950s Facel Vega, with aggressive angled styling and a long coupe wheelbase.
The other car is more sleek and modern, with Buick, Pontiac and Cadillac-type styling references.
Backs: Blank.
Condition/Notes: VG+. Glossy finish. Only the most minor corner bumps and edge wear from storage (see scan).
----------
Note: these are "as-is" found vernacular photos, rescued from a sad end, and may have a few bends, creases or corner bumps--signs of their age. Some may have black paper stuck on back or remains of album corners (I will note this if there is any). Most are perfectly preserved, clean, sharp and glossy. ~~~~~~~About my photos: I love old snapshot photos--collect them myself. I can hardly bear to see someone's family photos get tossed out or destroyed.
I sort through family albums, scrapbooks and piles of paper at flea markets, sales and auctions looking for images to "save", to live on in someone's collection.
