My father-in-law came to visit us recently, and brought with him a couple old items he found around his house. Thought I would share them here. Anyway, I thought it was interesting to see how things have changed over the past 80+ years....
One is what I guess today we would refer to as an owners manual...the book cover says "Instructions for the operation and care of Chevrolet Motor Cars, Superior Model, Series V, March 1926 Edition". It is a 63 page booklet that is really an owners manual and service manual combined. Over 4 pages of that are devoted just to aiming and adjusting the headlights! ![]() Check out the warning about 'dumping the clutch' [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/haha.gif[/img] ![]() how about this Lubrication Chart... ![]() Not the type of detail you see in today's owners manuals... ![]() The other item he brought was a Christmas Card addressed to my wife's grandfather, postmarked December 20, 1929, from the "Aurora (IL) Buick Company". Evidently her grandfather must have bought a car there some time previous to that and, Great Depression or not, they were spending some $$$ to thank their customers. ![]() ![]()
