1923 Disteel Wheels Advertisement Poster Print

May 18, 2011 By: stevo Category: 1920's

1923 Disteel Wheels Advertisement Poster Print. Measures 15.5 inches wide x 20.5 inches tall. A retro art deco advertisement from the 20′s. Disteel brand pressed-steel automobile were manufactured by the Detroit Pressed Steel Company, and were introduced in 1917 as an alternative to wooden artillery wheels with demountable rims. Pressed steel wheels were an alternative to fragile wooden wheels which would crack on impact with very rough roads. Steel wheels were both stronger and cheaper to manufacture, and could be painted any color the owner desired. I would love to run a set on a Model A Speedster. I like these wheels and also like the artillery wheels, they have a nice streamline look, and look super tough and durable.

Father’s Day is coming up, wow that means the LA Roadster Show in Pomona is right around the corner also.

Would make for a perfect Father’s Day gift . A very unique gift for Dad that he can hang up in his workshop or office.

Just some really super cool retro oil ads from Richfield today. These popular prints are 2 of 4 prints I have available. I will create a package deal for the collection. $40 for the 4 sound like a sweet deal, also including a free shipping bonus for buying all four. Now I just have to get my butt in gear and post it. I think on eBay I will also create a Richfield Collection offer.
