Art & Inspiration 1932 Dealers Album Rarity

Does anyone own one of these or have a photo of one. I am curious as to what the heck a real original even looks like.
Thank you

 

***uming you're talking about 1932 Fords, there are several dealer brochures on the Old Car Brochure website: http://www.oldcarbrochures.com/static/NA/Ford/1932 Ford/index.html

 

No.
The dealerships were all given albums the gave a complete overview of the coming car.

I bet Gene Hetland has one.

 

For many years I was lucky enough to own what was called the 32 Ford salesman's hand book. It was just a little larger than a Readers Digest and contained all the drawings, specs and some pictures of all 32 Ford models including commercials. I thought I had some pictures of it but must have deleted them when I sold it. Went to a 32 Ford collector.

 

Very rare bird, back in the '80s and '90 it wasn't uncommon to see one offered for $2500. Brown simulated leather with gold embossed letters.

HOTRODPRIMER That is the book I had, sold it in a moment of weakness, but sure enjoyed being the caretaker for several years.

 

The original dealer albums are a lot bigger than the sales manual. Their are color pictures of all body styles in them. Many years ago at Hershey guys used to display them. Really neat books, wouldn't want to guess at today's value.

 

I have one of these sales manuals. Any idea how rare they are?

 

I would say they are pretty rare. HRP

 

Does anyone have any idea what one would be worth? It is a 1932

 

Do you mean like this?

 

I had a pocket sized 32 Ford salesman's handbook for a few years. about the size of a Readers Digest. It contained detailed drawings and specs for every model car and truck clear up thru all the different versions of the BB. It was very detailed. I read it repeatedly and then moved it on the the next caretaker.

 

"It acts for you" from the album, O'l H. Ford may have invented the first AI!!!

 

That's the one I have, would be interested in selling it if I knew where to price it.

 

4 years ago it was posted the 80’s and 90’s going rate.
Things like this years later, might be tougher to gauge it.
Might look at eBay and see if anything is offered, etc.

Heck, list it there with a reserve you’re comfortable with and see what happens.

 

No not the same one.

 

Yeah I looked on ebay and googled it and pretty much found nothing so I ***umed it must be pretty rare. I thought about listing it with a reserve like you mentioned.
