I have been thinking about Kenyon's suggestion about scanning in things
like service manuals
Mark: On the surface it sounds like a good idea, but I would question how much space it would require for the hundreds of pages, for all those years to be listed? It has always been a puzzle to me why anyone would buy an old car, and then not spend another $100 or so to buy shop/service manuals, parts manuals, etc. These are readily available from many sources, and should be a necessity even if you don't do your own work. I currently own 12 old cars & trucks ranging from 1950 through 1969, and have a factory shop manual, parts book, & miscellaneous literature for everyone one of them. Further, I do believe it would be extremely helpful to post information that was provided throughout the model years, in the form of bulletins, etc. These were sent to dealers to correct various problems that developed after the cars were delivered.
