An Original Vintage Magazine (measures 6 3/4" x 9 1/4" [17 x 23 cm]) (Learn More) Mechanix Illustrated ("The How-To-Do Magazine"), a 1928 - 2001 magazine like Popular Mechanics, which was aimed at "do-it-yourselfers" (long before the days of Home Depot and Lowe's), when the only way to get help on home projects was through magazines like these! Each issue was filled with illustrated stories about all sorts of projects that an average person could do at home (and also some related to cars). There were also loads of ads from companies that sold to people who did their own home projects. Important Added Info: Note that not only does this issue have a wonderful article on how The Creature from the Black Lagoon was made for the movie, but it also has a great article about Chevrolet introducing the Corvette and how they could tell it was going to be a giant hit!
