Repop Owner's Manuals

[1940plymouth]

Has anyone ever heard of someone reprinting the owner's manuals for the 1940 Plymouth?

 

Thanks,

Bob

^{tons available on the e-bay  choices from original in various states of wear to repops for less than 13.00  this stuff is everywhere...}

_{Thanks Tim, are the repops the non colored ones?}

Just make sure to read every word of an Ebay ad for these manuals, most of the very cheap ones turn out to be a cd copy of the Manual.

 

Often this Small bit of info is almost hidden in the fine print.

I agree a CD is not the way to go. I much prefer a hard copy.

Amazon has some too. Same deal, make sure its not a cd

When I hit the swap meets I buy up varies car manuals ......cuz you never know when you might do a swap or mod or whatever....

 

Just can't count on everything being on the net. lol

Beside E-bay/Amazon, the owners manual for these cars can be found by literature dealers at swap meets..often an original shows up but many are repops...I have never seen them on CD....not many cars of this age have a CD drive installed so you can check how to change a flat along side the road in  20 Mileout Anywhere US

I've seen paper re-pops of the P23 owner's manual on eBay.  They combine a 1951 and 1952 Plymouth manual into one.  Not authentic at all and kind of cheesy in my opinion.

the 51 and 52 Plymouths are kinda cheesy in themselves being combined model year....I own both a 51 and a 52 Plymouth ..other than OD introduction in mid 52 not much was different except  a bolt here or there, wiring location on firewall/cowl and dial graphics..want to have fun...try a 54 Plymouth manual...lots of changes were made there with no mention..hard to anticipate running changes when the books go to the printers so to be available to place with each newly made car on the start up of production...

This is why I asked about these manuals being reprinted.  I figure the one on the right is an original because of the cover being in color

[DJ194950]

In some cases I'd prefer the reprint if done on good quality heavy paper if it's some you will look at often (to withstand the regular use) instead of a collector piece to go with your car.

 

Your choice and money.

 

Happy hunting!
