This brochure promotes the 1940 Chrysler automobiles and was most likely available through Chrysler dealerships. The brochure measures 8 1/2" by 11" and consists of a front and back cover and two full inner sheets forming four pages. The highly unusual feature of this brochure is that several of the photographs require the special "Viva-Scope" in order to be clearly viewed. These photos appear blurred when viewed without the "Viva-Scope", which is similar to the viewing glasses used for 3-Dimensional movies. The Viva-Scope is loose; when viewed in Scan #1, the "Viva-Scope" is shown in its intended location; in Scan # 2, the device has been moved down slightly in order to show the patch of paper loss, as well as the original scotch tape still attached to the viewer. The back cover (see Scan # 3) bears the dealership name and address: "Sirois Motors 5 & 7 Bowers St. Nashua, N.H. Phone 322". Aside from the above-mentioned paper loss,the brochure has two other defects deserving of note. The first is a 1 1/2" split at the left end of the original center fold; this split is present at the same location on the inner pages and the back cover. The second issue is a very small patch of tape-glue residue on the front cover just below the model's right earlobe. T is a tiny tear at the bottom edge of the front cover near the lower left corner. read more
