This time the focus is on references of the Commercial Range that were produced after 1913
Commercials is not really my area of speciality and most car magazines that I have viewed give lip service to the commercial range very rarely are tests performed
however much classic & Vintage magazines in more recent years have always had a Commercial column of discoveries of history on some of the more unusual makers Practical Classics Had Commercially Travelling & Commercially Speaking as Does The Automobile - The Commercial column later spun off from The Automobile Magazine and others to Specialised Commercial Magazines that lot after this area - I covered most Practical Classics to 1998 still on gong anf most of the Automobile to 1988 - Book mark this blogg as I will be progressively adding to it over next few years
