This is a lot of three vintage original c.1960s Pop Art style cardboard posters or signs advertising Robert Bosch automotive products.  All posters are printed one side only on rigid thick artboard type backings. It looks like these were made by printing on sheet and then mounting the sheet to the rigid thick artboard type backing.    This lot includes posters for the following Robert Bosch automotive products: 

Robert Bosch Ignition Systems featuring Indy Car Formula Fords (Red/Blue) 

Robert Bosch Spark Plugs featuring Can Am, Lola and Chaparral cars (Green/Orange) 

Robert Bosch Fuel Injection featuring Porsche 906 (Blue/Green) 

Information on the vehicle types featured on the posters comes from descriptions provided by the auction house Bonhams on a group of these posters they sold in 2024 and to be honest we don’t know if those are correct or not but that is the only auction records we find for these rare posters. The posters are not dated but we found the same images used in magazine print advertising for Robert Bosch between 1965 and 1969.  

Condition is very good with the Ignition Systems poster having a short tear to the paper on the lower left edge.  The Spark Plugs poster has a short tear of about an inch to the paper on the right edge. All three posters show moderate handling wear, some slight foxing and minor edge nicks or slight imperfections.  All retain the original color and display nicely.  Overall condition is very good.
