"Parts Pups" was published by the Genuine Parts Company (the parent company of National Auto Parts Association, or NAPA) between 1931 and 1996. The magazine featured jokes, longer humor stories, and cartoons, and was sold at automobile parts stores. By the 1980s, the magazines got decidedly raunchier, and began featuring pinup models on the front wrappers instead of advertising placements.

8.5 x 11.25 inches. Generally Very Good to Very Good plus, with some occasional dampstaining, creasing, soil, and annotations in manuscript ink.
