Artifact Overview
In 1930, American Austin sent out this invitation. The company wanted customers to check out their new small car. The company hoped the car's size and economy would be a big seller. It wasn't. The company reorganized after bankruptcy in the mid-1930s, and ceased car production in 1941.
