Bill and all,

For the record, I supplied Clark's with all their accessory installation
manuals, as I have a complete set for model years '60 thru '66 (the last
year they were made.)

I also have a complete set of (combined) parts books (one each year)
from '60 thru '69. Also several price books of that vintage and later as
well.

Also, a complete set of Dealer Albums for all years. The color charts
and fabric samples are included, with the exception of '61, which is in
a separate binder, which I also have. Unfortunately, they don't cover
the Corvan, Rampside, or Loadside, as these were deemed trucks. I don't
have any truck albums.

A complete set of Chevy shop repair manuals and Fisher Body body
manuals.

A relatively complete set of sales brochures for all years. (Does anyone
really know just what all was published? - G)

All of the above are original publications, not reprints. I also have a
number of original items that I will have to get listed.

Computer files that I have been working on have documented 1)all the
color and trim options available in all years of cars, plus GB (and the
rest of the trucks AFAIK); 2) all the car options for all the models and
years, in a searchable format; 3) and am working on a window sticker
reproduction file. I have almost completed the '67 file, and am close on
the '69 file.
