I'm looking for an early car advert. That is From the 1800's . I'm looking for American printed mainly. Particularly something on ford's quadracycle .
Thanks
Mike s.

Here's the first known automobile ad in the US, july 30, 1898 in Scientific American:
Winton ad
Winton produced cars in Cleveland, OH from 1898 to 1924.

The quadricycle was only made as a single prototype in 1896. Even though it was sold by Ford to get funds for further experiments, I doubt it was advertised. If it was advertised in the local paper it would have been a text ad without a picture.
