1973 FORD OWNER'S MANUAL 1ST PRINTING. This Manual apparently had been left over at the car dealership that it came from. It is an original Ford publication and was part of the First Printing. E-Bay's computer inserted 1973 as the publication date, but our experience is that the booklets were printed in the prior year. There is no date that we could find on the booklet to prove it, though. This Manual is 80 pages long, measures 8-1/2 x 4 inches, and is in near pristine condition which is remarkable for something that has been in storage for 50 years. We will sandwich the Manual between 2 pieces of cardboard for added protection during shipment and we will be shipping Media Mail. Thank you very much for your interest and please Message with any questions.
