The Very First Panorama - Dec 1955

PCA is in the process of adding all Panorama magazines to the PCA website beginning with the very first issue from December 1955.
The instructions at PCA regarding sharing this first issue included an embed but I don't think that's doable here. However, the link they provided is also shareable so I'm adding it here per their instructions.
Hopefully, all at Carpokes will be able to open this digital time-capsule from 70 -years ago. It's pretty cool. Please let me know if it doesn't open.

How cool is that. The constitutional 'objectives' would apply perfectly to Carpokes too. Love the true club spirit of those early days. Legend has it that Panorama was printed in that odd small size for decades because they always wanted it to fit in the glove box of a 356.

Used to be a PCA member for a couple of years, but no longer. Will those Panorama magazines be available as a PDF download or will they be on-line only?

Regarding PDF downloads, apparently not. I've hoped for Panorama PDF download capability over the years (still hoping) but no luck. I guess PCA doesn't want to give general access to the publication outside of their website which only members can access, so they don't activate the PDF feature.
Too bad as a PDF is a much better way to read vs online flip readers, assuming one doesn't have a printed copy. I don't keep hard copy issues for more than a year or so and therefore PCA's online flip reader is the only way to go back in time.
However, maybe these newly accessible back issues will be available to all via embeds or link sharing, much the same as I did for the first-ever issue I posted to start this thread. That would be a better than no access at all. I'll log in to the PCA site at some point and see if I can share any other issues on Carpokes.
