The 1953 Bowman Antique Autos trading card set is a reprint of the 1911 Turkey Red Automobile Series (T37) with a slightly shorter checklist, new dimensions, and a 3D card back.
The original 1911 series was not numbered but there were 50 cards compared to Bowman’s 48. The images were slightly cropped on each side to accommodate the different card size.
Glasses were distributed by retailers for free with purchase of four packs so that the image on the reverse of the card — essentially a line drawing of the card-front’s image — could be viewed in 3D.
