Lot of 4 Classic Car Reference Manuals - Ford Restoration Gold Mine!
You're getting 4 essential books for the classic Ford collector, restorer, and American car enthusiast. This lot includes the legendary bible of postwar cars plus 3 hard-to-find MAC's Auto Parts catalogs.
Includes
1. Standard Catalog of AMERICAN CARS 1946-1975 by Krause Publications / Old Cars Weekly
This is THE reference book every serious collector owns. 800+ pages, over 1,000 listings and 1,500+ photos. Considered the ultimate American postwar auto library for VIN decoding, serial numbers, factory specs, options, production totals by series and body style, and values by condition.
First published in the 70s, this book created the modern collector car price guide. It covers everything from the first 1946 postwar models built with leftover military tooling to the big 1975 muscle era - tailfins, woodies, tri-five Chevys, Plymouth Barracudas, Ford Galaxies, and Lincoln Continentals.
2. MAC's Auto Parts PICKUP 1948-79 FORDS PICKUP PARTS AND ACCESSORIES CATALOG
The preferred Ford parts supplier for more than 40 years. Covers F-1 through F-100, F-250, F-350 restoration parts - body, trim, chrome, interior, electrical, engine. Perfect for F100 pickup truck restoration.
3 & 4. MAC's Auto Parts 60-72 Galaxie 1960-72 FULL-SIZE FORD AND MERCURY INCLUDING GALAXIE PARTS CATALOG (Lot of 2 Different Covers)
You get two editions - one with red 60s Galaxie cover and one with yellow 64 Galaxie cover. Covers Galaxie 500, XL, LTD, Custom, Mercury Monterey, Montclair, Park Lane, Marauder full-size Ford restoration parts catalog. Largest selection for full-size Ford / Mercury.
These are fantastic for parts identification, exploded diagrams, original part numbers, and restoration planning. All are out-of-print and highly sought after by Ford truck and Galaxie collectors.
Condition: Very Good used vintage condition.
The Standard Catalog shows honest shop use - has handwriting on cover "Ref - Old Car Weekly Price Guide" and "SAVE" noted, cover has some curl/wave and edge wear, but all 800+ pages intact and readable with great photos inside (DeSoto, Lincoln pages photographed).
The 3 MAC's catalogs are in much better condition with light shelf wear, clean inside.
Great working lot for garage, shop, or car show reference.
This is a perfect bundle for classic car restoration, hot rod builder, barn find hunter, or Ford F100 / Galaxie owner.
