The Piece
1973 automotive collection booklet.
Color photographic publication.
Issued by Harrah’s Automobile Collection, Reno, Nevada.
Primary Description
An official illustrated booklet documenting selections from Harrah’s Automobile Collection, featuring full-color photography and technical descriptions of historically significant automobiles. The publication reflects the scope and ambition of the collection during its peak years.
Produced with embossed and foil-stamped elements, the booklet exemplifies the design language and production quality associated with institutional publications of the early 1970s.
Historical Context
Harrah’s Automobile Collection was, at the time of publication, the largest privately owned automobile collection in the world. Assembled by William F. Harrah, the collection played a critical role in the preservation and public appreciation of early automotive history. Publications such as this served as both documentation and record of vehicles that would later be dispersed to museums and private collections worldwide.

All antique and vintage items are sold as described and all sales are final. Each listing includes detailed condition notes and photographs so you can make a fully informed decision. We encourage buyers to ask questions — about condition, dimensions, finish, provenance — before purchasing.
Antiques are irreplaceable and one-of-a-kind. Carrier handling is outside our control once a piece has left our facility, and major carriers including FedEx do not insure antiques. We do everything within our power to ensure safe transit, but cannot accept liability for carrier damage. If damage occurs in transit, we will provide full documentation to support your carrier claim.
