1960's Factory Training Manuals

I found a guy near me that is selling late 60's Oldsmobile & GM factory Training Manuals. They are $15 each and look to be in VERY good condition. HS anyone seen these things before??? Is there any interesting info in them or would it be more of a purchase for nostalgic reasons.

Craig, I think you will need to be more specific about what these are. I'm interested, but don't know what you're referring to.

Those are definitely worth having for your year car or for preliminary training on features for the next model year- an example would be the 64-65 Turbo Hydra Matic training school manuals, or ANY Comfortron training manuals.

Or in Kurt's and my case, JUST TO HAAAAVVVE! Hay, somebody has to keep track of this stuff before it's all lost or forgotten...

I guess the ?? here is are they specific to the Canadian built cars, or do they cover all North American production? In either case, they will have excellent info and documentation.

Let us know what all he has. Pretty sure some of us on here would be interested in these.

Technicians??

Do they call them "shadetree technicians" now?

Remember when journalists were reporters?
