Hudford Garage, Shanghai?

No, the coachbuilder was not located in or near Shanghai.

Tianjin is not a problem, the publication is a bit of a problem. Was it an American car magazine?

It was an American automotive periodical, but not one of the more well-known car magazines.

I was so hopeful that "The Ford industries; facts about the Ford Motor Company and its subsidiaries" will feature it, but no

So I have to ask, is the magazine mentioned in the Bibliography section of the Standard Catalog of American Cars 1805-1942?

I don't have access to the Bibliography section, but it is mentioned elsewhere in the book.

[pnegyesi]

Do you see the magazine here?

I don't have access to the Bibliography section, but it is mentioned elsewhere in the book.

There are 77 mentions of the word "magazine" in the book, but there is 0 clue on what magazine you may had in mind.

I'd love to find this but
- it seems this is an obscure garage in Tianjin and I was wondering if there are any other English-language online resources mentioning it
- if not, then we have to find the obscure magazine you have in mind and I think I just ran out of ideas how to find it (tried searching for automobile titles in 1927 but it's either in the Bibliography section or doesn't have this car).

I am happy to brwose through 1000s of pages, which I already did, but my chances of success are diminishing.

If you agree with I outlined in my last message, then my only chance is to find the magazine somehow. Was "auto" part of its title?

[gte4289]

Was "auto" part of its title?

I don't want to burn the source by revealing it here, but I will say that the title doesn't include the words auto, automobile, car, motor, or motorcar.
