Chilton's Auto Repair Manual 1962 (33rd Year Edition)

This is a vintage hardcover edition of the Chilton's Auto Repair Manual for the year 1962, marking the 33rd year of publication. The book features a textured, dark forest green cloth-bound cover with distinctive yellow-gold lettering and logos. The front cover showcases the iconic Chilton circular emblem and an embossed line drawing of a vehicle chassis on the left side. Physically, the book is in 'heavily used' or 'fair' condition, typical of a working shop manual. There is significant fraying, tearing, and material loss along the length of the spine and the left edge of the front board. The corners are bumped and worn, showing the underlying board material. Notable surface wear includes scuffing, creasing, and what appears to be a small area of white residue or paper loss at the bottom center. The internal pages are likely yellowed with age and may contain greasy fingerprints consistent with use in an automotive garage setting. Despite the structural damage to the binding, the vintage typography and industrial design represent a classic piece of mid-century Americana and automotive history, originally published by the Chilton Company in Philadelphia.
