Original 1930s - 1940s Automotive Equipment Association (AEA) Christmas display encouraged gift buying for car owners — a clever seasonal marketing move during the rise of the American automobile age. The AEA promoted "Dependability, Reputation, Justice, Quality," serving as a trade association for reputable auto parts and service suppliers nationwide. The die-cut design resembles a radiator grille, topped with the AEA's red-and-green emblem and framed by a festive holly wreath and bow. Displays like this were typically placed in auto supply stores and service stations, urging customers to "Give Something for the Car This Christmas" — a reflection of consumer optimism despite economic hardship. > Orders ship within 2 business days, securely packed and tracked so you can follow your delivery.
