Here's a look at what I have right now. Each small pic links to a bigger pic with a PayPal Add-to-Cart button. Your browser's Back button will bring you back to the small pics. Or just scroll down and look at them all!
These are high-resolution scans of old-time sales art, with glitches, folds, staples, and rips removed; optimized to my best estimation of what they looked like when they were new. I print the 8"x10" and 13"x19" sizes with an inkjet printer on high-quality matte photo paper, as big as I can. The larger sizes are printed with a lustre finish by outside vendors. Turnaround takes 2-3 business days, and prints are shipped via US Mail, in a tube. Price includes shipping/handling. I can accept payments only through PayPal.If you're not satisfied, return the prints for a refund via PayPal.

It stands to reason that if I can do this with pics of cars, I can clean up and enhance other kinds of printed documents or photos. I can furnish them in other sizes than I'm listing here. If you want colors or backgrounds changed, I'll give it a shot – I'll gladly consider custom work if we can reach an agreement about timing, pricing, and desired outcomes. Email the honcho@raindogeditorial.com and we'll figure out if I can do anything for you.
1932 Plymouth Sedan: Plymouth didn't specify model year in the early brochures, but consensus at the Plymouth Club is that this is a '32. It's a nice illustration, but there's not much detail in it, and I won't enlarge it above 13"x19."
1932 Plymouth Sport Roadster:
Another fun Plymouth for the country-club set! At 18" image width the original gravure "rosettes" are clear, but it looks great from 3 feet away. 13"x19" max.
1933 Plymouth
Convertible Coupe:
Early Plymouth advertising was heavily into glamor. What can I say?
1936 Plymouth
Business Coupe:
The artists always made them lower and sleeker in the brochures.
1938 Plymouth Deluxe
Rumble Seat Coupe:
A composite from a couple of clean brochure pages. I took the medallion from another page, and tucked it in behind the coupe.
1939 Plymouth
Brochure Composite:
The 1939 brochure cars looked like cartoons.
1940 Plymouth Wagon:
The 1940 brochure has beautifully-rendered and realstic-looking cars on indistinct backgrounds, with a wet look underneath.
1940 Plymouth Deluxe
4-door Touring Sedan:
Another example from the lovely 1940 brochure, and a car and color that everyone of a certain age will remember.
1940 Plymouth Deluxe
Convertible Coupe:
The star of the 1940 brochure.
1942 Plymouth
Brochure Cover:
Production of American civilian cars stopped in February, 1942, and did not resume until 1946. The brochure is rare, and so are the cars. I modified this slightly to fit a landscape format, but all of the original elements are there.
1946-49 Plymouth
Special Deluxe Convertible:
Re-trimmed 1942s became the 1946 series, and ran without change through the First Series of 1949.
Brochure Cover, Plymouth, 1946 through First
Series 1949:
Another Mopar sales brochure that doesn't bother to specify the model year(s) of the vehicles.

1946 Plymouth Wagon:
The most expensive Plymouth you could buy in those days was the wood-bodied station wagon. Plymouth made its last woodies in the 1950 model year.
1947 Chevrolet
Fleetmaster Sedan:
A high-res scan of a large image.
1948 Oldsmobile
Brochure Composite:
The brochure centerfold, with three other images from the brochure.
1950 Plymouth Special
Deluxe 4-dr Sedan:
The centerfold in the 1950 sales brochure.
1950 Plymouth Special Deluxe Convertible:
A high-resolution scan of a large image.
1951 Plymouth Belvedere:
Plymouth's first hardtop convertible!
1951 Plymouth Cranbrook:
The Deluxe Club Coupe.
1955 Plymouth Suburban:
Plymouth catches up in style!
1955 Plymouth
Belvedere Hardtop:
The sexiest Plymouth of 1955.
The 1941 Buick brochure was great quality for a sales piece. Scanned and printed at a higher resolution than the original litho screen, this piece can be enlarged to 36" tall, capturing the original rosettes from the process-color printing. At that size, it looks good if you stand back about five feet.
