The Correspondence series consists of letters and memoranda both written and received by David E. Davis. Much of the correspondence relates to his work at Car and Driver and Automobile Magazine, although some is of a more personal nature. This series has been divided into several subseries based on organizational method and the dominant type of correspondence for each grouping. Letters and memoranda are also found in other series of the collection.

The Business files series contains materials regarding Davis's work at the marketing agencies Campbell-Ewald and Foote, Cone & Belding, the magazines Car and Driver and Automobile Magazine, and other organizations. The material is grouped chronologically into subseries by organization. Within the subseries, materials are arranged alphabetically by topic and then chronologically. When Davis worked for an organization (Campbell-Ewald and Car and Driver) over multiple, distinct periods of time, multiple subseries have been created to reflect that. The types of material included in these subseries vary widely, from paper copies of presentations slides, to fan letters, to survey research statistics. In addition, more material related to Davis's work at these organizations may be found throughout the collection.
