PR from the Period
For some reason, maybe it is just the pack-rat in me, I love to accumulate press releases and such from the time my cars were released. This is especially true with a car like the TR4 which was made before I was born. This ephemera helps me understand a little of the way these machines were thought of when they were produced. Of course now we think of them as quaint, and vintage, and we attach all sorts of nostalgia to them. But for my picture to be complete, I want to know what the companies and the buying public thought of these autos when the first rolled off the line.
To that end you will see here pictured two press-release photos and one post card. At least that postcard helps me get at least some idea what my white car would look like with period white-wall tires.
