    Going through some of my stuff i got at the swap meet yesterday at Back To The 50's I came across this Fordomatic service guide wheel in with some of the Hot Rod magazines from '52-'54 as well as some other Hot Rod related books I bought.

    Both the green and yellow one say 124 on them so I'm thinking number error.

    I've got one of those somewhere, but I haven't seen it since maybe 1975.

  11. Probably regional. Perhaps east of the river and west of same. Are items priced the same?

  14. Not price of book. Compare prices of items inside. MAY be some differences. May not

    I was thinking the same thing, other than the color, seems the info on both are the same.

    That service guide is damned cool!
