I bought this 1954-55 Ford Manual and I was searching
in the internet and saw manuals out there like mine.My
question is some have a lower price and a couple have a hire
prize only be cause they state Original. Is original?
I will be going back to buy some more books, I guess I
need to learn how to pick them as a true Collector
Thanks, for your help.

Thanks packrat-place
How well you did depends on what you paid and how long you plan keeping it. I still have the first Ford manual from my first car. 1955 and it still isn't worth much. I have the shop manuals from every car I ever owned except my T-5 and one 66 GTO. You have to target your buyer regardless of edition. The information and illustrations in the book are what makes it valuable.
Thanks, fhrjr2 Well the person that i bought it from is a grandson of a mechanic who work for the company Bordens in San Francisco, I only paid 15.00
I will Post a couple more pictures.
