Publication Information

[Happy 46R]

I received a booklet for Christmas from my SiL and a google search shows that this is probably a reproduction of an original Dodge publication but before I open the cellophane wrapping I am checking to see if that is the case. The images I saw on Google had an identification on the lower front right corner for the model of the car. An example is Code D-24. Mine does not hence my thoughts that this is a reproduction. Has anyone had any experience with these? Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you all.Dodge Booklet.pdf

Don't think that is the original wrapping, looks heat sealed.

I have an original one.  It is a dark blue/purple-ish color, and has the "CODE D-24" as you note on the lower right of the cover.  It is in an original manila envelope with "This / Envelope Contains / OWNER'S INSTRUCTION BOOK / OWNER'S SERVICE POLICY / And / Identification Card.    CHRYSLER CORPORATION / Detroit 31, Michigan.  D-11312 / D24 on the face, with a small D-3194 / Printed in U.S.A. on the lower left corner.  This and a couple bucks will get me a cup of coffee, meaning it's nice to have, but as Rich notes, doesn't score any points in any judged event.  Folks looking the car over at car shows get a kick out of it, though.  Thoughtful of your SiL to get you one, hope you gave her due credit.

Thanks everyone. Was pretty sure it was a reproduction and yes it was great of her to think of this for me. I didn't want to screw something up by opening it when I shouldn't hence my question. Dan next time I am in Ludlow, ME I will be sure to buy you that coffee. All the best for 2022.
