Original Shop Manuals?

Posted by Gene On 2012/5/18 21:43:40

In that bundle of stuff I got at the sale was a couple of Shop Manuals. There is a 37-38 Series and a 38-39 Series. There is no date or issue number anywhere on these and the man I got them from said he had them for many years with the same collection of letters and other information I bought from him. These look original to me and definitely have that "aged" look to be 70 years old.

My question, would Packard have put a print date on the original printing or only put it on reprints? The 38-39 will stay with my 39 Super 8. I'm not sure about the 37-38 yet.

Thanks for any insight into this.
