I am sure most of you are familiar with this reference book. I am only selling this because I need the money to do some work to my 36 Chevy.
Published by McGraw-Hill, Inc. in 1973 (probable first...
I remember my Mother listening to Johnny Dollar on the radio.
I remember the smell of the mohair upholstery in my Dad’s 48 Chevy
