Hello Listers, and especially to those who might have early TC advertisements: I'm looking for a color print ad from about the early Fifties (?) showing a red tc going around a left-handed mountain curve. (It might have been an MG ad, or possibly for another product.) The artwork was drawn from a 3/4 above angle and the car had a driver and girlfriend aboard. I had the print for years, (before I could afford a TC, ) then lost it and would like to obtain another. If you know of one I could purchase or make a color xerox of, please reply off list. Thanks.

The picture Allan is speaking of was a cover on the AAA magazine originally published in May of 1952 and republished in November/December of 2000. It shows a red TC with windshield dropped just coming out of a curve on a back road two lane highway with a hill in the background. The artist is James Hansen and it's titled "Spring Motoring" Rick Storms TC 6776
