Sales Literature

The Chevrolet Division of General Motors created, designed and published various kinds of sales literature to hand out to the general public. These are usually in color, contain large pictures of the various interior and exteriors available and have a general discussion of options. Sales Literature is useful for restoration details and fun to own and collect to show along with your car. The different kinds of sales literature available include brochures, folders, postcards, press releases,sales bulletins and annual reports.

Parts Books

The Chevrolet Division of General Motors compiled and published large, comprehensive Parts Books for Chevrolets, only.  They have both a text and an illustration section, and will cover every single part in your car. There are blow up illustrations of the parts, along with the part name and number. The illustrations show subassemblies and give a great deal of information for when you are reassembling your car, along with identifying the proper parts. Equipped with this book, you will no longer have to put up with parts vendors selling you the wrong part.

Dealer Albums

Generally,  only once a year the Chevrolet Division would sell to each of its dealers only one Data Book and Color/ Upholstery Album for the Chevrolet models for that specific year. These books, collectively known as "Dealer Albums" were never given to the general public.  Many were thrown out by insensitive dealers to make space for the next model  year. They are therefore rare, hard to find, and true collector's items. The Data Books usually are profusely illustrated with interiors, exteriors, option and accessory choices. The Color/Upholstery Albums have swatches of  the actual upholstery and paint colors available at that time.

Owners Manuals

These are the glove box booklets that give a consumer basic information about the operation and maintenance of his automobile. They give the Chevrolet owner a general idea of how to operate the various Chevrolet features and accessories.

Shop Manuals

The Chevrolet Division of General Motors designed and printed Shop Manuals with the detail and specifics necessary to effectively maintain and repair their cars. In some years there is a separate Fisher Body Shop Manual, and in other years the body and chassis sections are combined in one Manual.  These Shop Manuals contain the most complete information available for Chevrolets. Topics include engine, transmission, drive line, brakes & suspension, electrical, wiring diagrams, exhaust and much more. They are essentially "how to fix it" books, with detailed pictures, diagrams, symptoms, tests, etc. If you own a Chevrolet and want to work on it yourself, these are the only Shop/Service Manuals you will need.

Paint Chips

These are actual paint samples showing the customer the colors available for the car in each model year. They are usually the size of a large postage stamp and have the color codes along with the color. These are very useful in restoring cars, because they help you to find the correct color for your specific model.

Bulletins

Periodically, the Chevrolet Division of General Motors published bulletins to deal with specific repair and maintenance issues as they arose in order to update their Shop Manuals. Service bulletins are usually detailed and specific as to one or two problems that were not known at the time the Shop Manual was published. Chevrolet also published other kinds of bulletins, such as parts, pricing, cost & code, etc.

Covers
