For us, the beauty and style of vintage vehicle logotypes is as worthy of admiration as the cars themselves. So we thank AUSmotive reader Michael for sending in this link to a collection of 1950s automotive typography captured from a car fair in Minnesota, USA.
There’s over 80 images in all, so if this is your thing we suggest you click the link below to get your typographic fix.
After we checked the images for ourselves it encouraged us to raid our photo collection to come up with 15 of our favourite pieces of automotive type. You can see them after the break.

Love this thread lima! I love both the original poster and your collections of photos. I particularily love your alpha romeo and vw photos with the heavy shadow! Car photo porn for me! I also like the autounion, not for any reason apart from the fact that it is autounion, which was my favourite car when I was a kid
Cool vintage vehicle logo collections. I’m amazed at people who have this kind of hobbies. One of a kind, thanks for sharing.!
