What Collectors Are Saying
"The most thorough reference I've seen for this model. The serial number appendix alone is worth the price — I've been trying to track down this data for years."
Robert T.
ATOS Judge, Iowa
"Finally a book that treats the collector seriously. The factory options chapter covers things I've never seen documented anywhere else."
Jim W.
Restoration specialist, 40+ years
"We've added this to our reference library. The photography and production quality are genuinely impressive — this belongs on the shelf next to the Octane Press titles."
Carol M.
