Chevrolet Car Dealer Albums

Data Books and Color/Upholstery Albums (known collectively as Dealer Albums) are automobile books which are wonderful collectors items as well as valuable sources for restoration details. 

The Data Book (sometimes called a "Selling Manual") published by the Chevrolet Division was written to help the Chevrolet  salesman to show why the Chevy was better than the automotive competition. It was usually divided into a separate section for each of that year's models. The section for each model has a picture of the exterior detail for that Chevrolet model and the interior style options, including exterior trim options, wheel options, diagrams and photos on engine features, transmission features, brake options, special  "extra-cost options" and dimensions and specifications. With text and photos, Chevrolet describes the special features which make it superior to other automobiles. 

The Color/Upholstery Album (sometimes called a Color-Trim Album) was an automobile book published by Chevrolet to help its showroom customers to select the color and upholstery combinations that they found most appealing for their automobile. There are generally color photos of the interior options for the various Chevrolet models, along with swatches of the actual upholstery combinations available and the upholstery codes. Charts explain the choices of exterior and interior color combinations. There is a section with large glossy paint color samples along with their color codes.
