Popular Post Point Five Posted April 16, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted April 16, 2021 A Baker grail of mine. Love the handling of the lady and the car so much. (OK, the guy's all right too.) Such a cheerful cover. Thanks to a kind boardie for letting this one go. comicnoir, Chief1332, Mr. Lady Luck and 11 others 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love the handling of the lady and the car so much. (OK, the guy's all right too.) Such a cheerful cover. Thanks to a kind boardie for letting this one go. Mine too. Probably in my top 5 Bakers. Such a flirty cover in such a ‘50’s wholesome way. One turned up here in a board sale a couple years ago. @Ricksneatstuff beat me to it. Man, I was bummed. But God bless Rick. He quickly turned up another copy and sold me his undercopy for exactly what he paid for it. Still grateful Rick. It’s locked up safely in my collection! sagii, davidtere, mustang33guy and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Microbia Posted April 19, 2021 Share Posted April 19, 2021 Lucky guy having the car and the girl. Curious if the roadster was based on a particular model. Point Five 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my opinion not a great Baker example or one of the better Texan covers. But I guess there's a woman in a dress/skirt? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd put 5 there too, but beyond those 2 there is a dropoff. 8 9 and 11 aren't bad and 6 has the first appearance of Wakanda (?) but the issues without prominent women don't compare to almost any issue of the Hawk (by Baker).

Not many copies with a white logo like that... Is this from the set of four WR's auctioned on feebay a few days back? That one also had a nice white logo.

If you *need* a woman on a Baker cover, I like #4 more; probably #8 as well (she's not front-and-center, but she has a red dress!) Overall, I like the different compositions used on #s 11 and 12.
