Green Bible/Orange Bible?
 

Just picked up a Ford Chassis Parts and Accessories Catalogue for passenger cars 1928 thru 1948 and trucks 1928 thru 1947 dated April 1949 at a garage sale for $20.00 but the cover is Orange. The title seems exactly the same as the "Green Bibles" I've seen advertised. Did Ford print the book with 2 different cover colors or is the one I have different in some way than the so called Green Bible? Thanks.

Nice score!

Same book, earlier edition.

Isn't that the Canadian issue?

:)The one with really large type and one syllable words, eh?

I used to have a copy of the Green Bible on CD but my computer crashed so I can't compare what I have with it but there is nothing that leads me to believe that it is a Canadian manual. Regardless, thanks to all for the info. It will sit on the shelf next to the '50's Motors Manuals I have acquired over the years and I'm sure sometime it will be very useful.

I have the same orange cover manual that I bought at the Petit Jean, AR swap meet probably 35 years ago. I don't believe that it is Canadian. It has a 1949 copyright date.

This is another great Canadian book relating to the Early Ford V8, titled "Fast Moving Parts Catalogue 1928-1949".

I do, and I have a copy of each.

My green one is Nov 1950.

It was scanned and posted by the Northern Ohio Regional Group #20 of the Early Ford V8 Club of America.

I don't know what year-edition it is but if you are using it for you personal use you can download the 8 books plus the Index Book, all in *.pdf format.
