I recently purchased and read the reproduction of the FORD REFERENCE BOOK 1937. This book was originally published by the Ford Motor Co in 1936. I purchased this reproduction from MAC's (item # VB20). The book was reprinted by Polyprints Books About Ford (V-20). There is a misprint in this reproduction. There is a loss of text continuity from page 16 to page 17. The topic heading on page 16 describes the engine oil recommended for 1937 Ford automobiles. The last sentence on page 16 is a complete sentence and ends with a period. On page 17, the text of the first sentence is in a larger font and is bold face type. The first sentence on page 17 is incomplete; it reads: "until the level drops to the 'danger' mark. (See figure 5.)" Then the text goes on to the subject heading of "Gasoline". The partial sentence described above is just swinging in the breeze at the top of page 17. Can an Early Ford V-8 Club member with an original FORD REFERENCE BOOK 1937 take a look at page 16 - page 17 and see if this misprint is present in the original? Also, printed on page 60 is the "Specifications and License Data". This exact same page and its text are reprinted on page 64. I would guess this would be in error as well. Does the original FORD REFERENCE BOOK 1937 also have a repeated page of specifications and license data as described above? Any information greatly appreciated. Thanks. TonyM. TonyM.

In my original 37 reference book the last sentence on page 16 is printed in bold type and states "It is not necessary to add oil (stops there no period) sentence continues in still bold type on top of page 17, until the level has dropped to "danger". ( see Figure 5.) Page 60 in book is titled Exchanges and whole page is devoted to buying Ford rebuilt parts including engines and trading in your old part or exchanging it.Last page 64 is the Specifications and License Data which includes the oil pan capacity at 5 quarts,to restart another V8 Forum and Fordbarn arguement about this being a missprint. Stange that Ford missprinted this info year after year long before oil filters. Also should ad information is from a 1937 Ford 85 hp book,my 60 hp original book shows the complete sentence you pointed out, on page 17. Polyprint books are okay but the originals are common and can be bought cheaper on Ebay at times. This message was edited by 37 Coupe on 9-20-10 @ 5:30 AM

Here's a suggestion. Contact Dave Graham (former National Board member) and ask if he has a reproduction 1937 Reference Book. Dave has reprinted hundreds of automotive items over the years and may have it in stock. Here is his email: film@coastaloffsetprep.com This message was edited by nelsb01 on 9-20-10 @ 12:01 PM
