Next comes The Orphan Car Directory, (cars no longer produced as of 1936).

It is a valuable source of additional information that other manuals will not have for the early cars. This is cram packed full of info on cars from 1933 to 1938!

This hand book covers almost all these cars from that era: Auburn, Buick, Cadillac, Case, Chandler, Cunningham, Chevy, Chrysler, Cord, Davis, De Soto, Dodge, Durant, Elcar, Erskine, Essex, Ford, Franklin, Gardner, Graham-Paige, Graham, Hudson, Hupmobile, Jordan, LaSalle, Lincoln, Locomobile, Marmon, Marquette, Moon, Nash, Oakland, Olds, Packard, Paige, Peerless, Pierce Arrow, Plymouth, REO, Rockne, Star, Studebaker, Viking, Whippet, Willys, Willys-Knight, Willys Overland.

Quite simply, if you have never seen an early Motor's handbook, it is truly a valuable asset.
