Thanks for sharing those, it is a nice collection.  There were probably over a hundred wall posters used by dealers over the ten years of Kaiser Frazer sales and it would be wonderful to be able to display them all somewhere.  It would take a lot of wall space.  I have a 1949  unused ten x thirty foot out door billboard that is still in its original packaging  but it sure won't fit on any wall at my house.  If our dream of one day having a Kaiser-Frazer museum ever takes place it would finally have a place to be displayed.

nice. Thanks for sharing.  We don't get  to see many posters because it is something that is not easy to bring to meets.

Looks like easy items to duplicate given the technology in use today. Might be worth doing as I'm sure there are folks who would be interested in good reproductions. Myself included.

Dunno how big the posters are, but a rack like this will save space.

Hobby Lobby sells an inexpensive holder that will work for newspaper ads and the ads on display at Prescott were in one that is 18" x 24".  You can display one on each side and they offer several sizes.  Dave Antram has many of his posters framed and they look great but it is expensive.  I have seen holders at hobby shows that poster sellers use and they are big and heavy to move around.

Hobby Lobby charged me around 100 dollars to frame a large poster.  Some of the smaller posters, you can find your own frame.

I believe Gordie is talking about Itoya Art Profolio, an excellent choice for storage/display/presentation as they are available in many sizes: http://artprofolio.com/AP_Professional.htm

Jack has dozens in various sizes to store his KF advertising items. He wrote about them in his Historian column in the Bulletin many years ago; Gerald Perschbacher shared it in his Old Cars Weekly column "Club Clips."

In addition to Hobby Lobby, you can get them at Michael's, Staples, Pat Catan's, Amazon & art supply stores. Check around for the best price on the size(s) you want/need. You save 40-50% off with coupons from Michael's - watch the Sunday flyer or sign up for digital coupons.

I can vouch for the itoya portfolios. I have an autograph collection that I use them to store images in. They're acid free and great for archival.

If you don't mind doing the framing work yourself, www.hollywoodposterframes.com has some really reasonable pricing for frames, UV protection glass, matting material, etc.

The last one, while not KF, is my favorite. It was made by cutting vintage tire ads from large magazines from the 40's and 50's then assembling them into a neat pattern. Wife hates it.

These K-F magazine ads are fun to collect also and there are hundreds of them.  The hardest to find are ones from foreign countries and there are albums that hold the largest of magazine ads.  The posters are just too large to put in an album.

I don't know about the others, but mine are both 3' x 4' dealer posters.
