Your photos are very, very small, so it's hard to tell, but it looks like a re-pop to me. Most of the reproduction stuff I see of Classic Car material is always very high quality. The piece you posted looks brand new. It is my opinion that if it were original, the paper would have yellowed some by now.

Well, repro or not, kudos for listing it at a fair price. In that range, it's worth it even for a re-pop. Hope you find a good home for it.....

Thanks West. I should have mentioned that, and have modified the listing accordingly.
The paper is slightly yellow consistently throughout. I've added a photo of the inside cover page with a piece of new, white paper on top to reflect the color better. I can't say if it yellowed with age or not, however, as it might have been reproduced by being printed on a glossy, textured, buff/eggshell colored paper.
Also when I click on the "enlarge" bar on the photo I get an image that almost fills the screen on my monitor. I don't think I can post an image any bigger.

Dave,
Walter Miller lists a 9"x12" Original '33 Fleetwood Catalog with an embossed gray cover
at 15 times the price of your piece, which I'd bet is a reprint. Since both have black and white
illustrations, yours is a tremedous bargain for someone building a reference library on a budget.
That said, I couldn't in good conscience call it an original in its title listing, but it sure would
make a great placeholder for an owner/restorer/researcher awaiting the real deal.
I just wish your listing was a '34 Packard Eight piece!
