Description: Up for consideration is this Original 1960 edition of Motor Service’s New Automotive Encyclopedia, 4th edition, by the former publishers of Dykes Automobile Encyclopedia, (copyright 1960), and is in Excellent condition, cover worn, pages in Very Nice shape. It teaches the “Fundamental Principles of Operation and Basic Service Procedures” and is a complete all in one manual. As only the Dykes people can explain it, this book may be the one Profusely Illustrated Book you have been looking for!This book would apply to these cars of that era: Buick, American Bantam, Auburn, Austin, Cord, Graham, Hupmobile, LaFayette, LaSalle, Zephyr, Overland, Pierce Arrow, Reo, Terraplane, Cadillac, Chevy, Chrysler, Clipper, Continental, Crosley, Desoto, Dodge, Ford, Frazer, Henry J., Hudson, Imperial, Jeep, Kaiser, Lincoln, Mercury, Nash, Olds, Packard, Plymouth, Pontiac, Rambler, Studebaker, T-Bird, and Willys cars This neat book is 600 + pages long and is filled with the whole repair side of the automobile. Its 12 chapters covers these subjects: Automotive Engines, Carbs and Fuels, Starting/Lighting/Ignition, Steering and Wheel Alignment, Clutches/Trannys/Final Drives, Auto A/C (new for the 1950’s), Body Repairing/Refinishing, Shop Layout/Tools/Equipment, Auto Repair Kinks, Autos of America and Statistics, and.....27 years of Mechanical and Tune Up Specs (1933-1960)! As you can see from the pictures below, it has really nice photos of all aspects of the car repair side. If you know of the quality of Dykes manuals, do not let this book pass you by…..it is the same great informative reading. Very Interesting reading, and a nice addition to anyone's auto collection.
