Every entry (including cover image) that I added to rhe
Packard Bookshelf feature, here, came from my personal library, and - yes - the Dawes book is among them.
However, I completely forgot about the identification section in the appendices.
(Thanks, Ken!) It features actual photographic images of the various grille and bumper treatments, but they only go back to 1949.
The Dawes book is a bit tougher to spot because it has a plain black cover; the cover image for that Bookshelf entry is actually a scan of the title page. I have a fuzzy recollection the the same artwork was used for a paper dustcover on the original edition, but I can't verify that as fact.
Getting back to identification images, I had been thinking more of some line art images (front 3/4 views, IIRC) that I'd seen in some "crash sheets", as offered on eBay. I'm certain that those same images also appeared in some other general automotive repair manual other than the "MoTor" manuals - perhaps Chilton's. Unfortunately, I don't have any of them.
