Anyone have some old Tradin' times laying around? chicago sales rag...

I must have recycled 1,000 Tradin Times, Auto Trader Classics, and Hemmings during my last move 10 years ago. I was getting married at the time, and my bride-to-be just didn't get why I needed them.

If I hadn't gotten married, I'd probably still have every Hemmings printed in the last 30 years.

what is also interesting, the last owner of my car bought it out of the auto-trader back in 83, a local buy (45 minute ride). I bet tradin times was near the decline at that time. I just always thought auto-trader had picked over cars, that by the time it was ever printed with the pretty pictures, the good deals were gone out of it by someone that would see it before I did. With the tradin times, you felt like you got a time advantage as they printed them so often so you could not wait for the fresh releases to feel like you could be first. Craigslist is kinda like that in a sense.

The tribune always had some killer cars we all loved to see the ads for on the weekend. I miss those days. A bowl of some unhealthy cereal and the paper spread out on the kitchen table.
