2 original 1957 Volvo PV 444 and Duett vintage print ads and a 2 page road test

Description

2 Original Volvo PV 444 and Duett vintage print ads,  plus a 2 page road test of the 1957 PV 444.   Condition is Used. Shipped with USPS First Class.
Lot consists of 2 original 1957 Volvo PV 444 and Duett station wagon vintage print ads, plus a 1957 2 page road test of the PV 444 Sedan.  Please note that one of the ads was dated 10/56, but I listed it as a 1957 model because new models usually were introduced in September.  I am only guessing that Volvo did the same as American auto companies regarding the introduction of new models in September.   Visually the cars look the same, but if you are more familiar with the exact date Volvo introduced the 1957 models in the USA, please let me know if I need to list one of the two ads as a 1956 model.  Both ads and the 2 page road test were printed in black and white and all pages measure approximately 8.5" X 11".  All 4 pages were printed on standard automotive magazine quality paper as used by Motor Trend and similar magazines, not the premium paper utilized by National Geographic.  Therefore, there is noticeable aging discoloration when compared to ads taken from National Geographic or Playboy, which utilize higher quality paper.  Aging discoloration results in the original white space now having an off white to tanish tint, which darkens nearer the edges.  Please zoom over the photos to better ascertain the actual extent of the aging discoloration.    You will also note that the ad dated 10/56 (bottom left corner) was ripped from the original magazine and therefore there are spaces where the staples bound that page to the magazine.  You can see the notches on the left side of the page where page was pulled without the staples being removed first.  Other than staple tear and aging discoloration mentioned above, all 4 p
ages are in excellent condition for a 65 year old ad; and contain no bends, wrinkles, folds, tears, stains, markings, or water damage.      File: RB2

OT HAVING THE HOURS IT WOULD TAKE TO CHANGE ALMOST 100 AUCTION ITEMS BACK TO THEIR ORIGINAL LISTING BEFORE EBAY CHANGED IT WITHOUT MY AUTHORIZATION.

HOWEVER,
PLEASE NOTE:
Packages
too heavy
for 1st class will ship via
media mail
. The starting point for 1
st
class packages over a certain weight is triple the price, and far exceeds what is being billed.
That is why I must ship heavy packages that are not allowed to go first class large envelope via media mail.   It generally takes over 100 total pages of 9” by 11" ads or brochures or 64 total pages of 10” X 14” premium brochures to exceed 1st class
large envelope weight limit.
ALSO, PLEASE NOTE:
Shipping will only take place on Wednesday and Saturday until virus is completely
eradicated (unless I find myself at my local grocery store, which operates as a satellite post office).
Payments received between Sat 8:01 AM and Tuesday at 11 PM will ship on Wednesday. Payments received between 11:01 PM Tuesday and 8 AM Saturday will ship on Saturday.
