We specialize in automobile literature, manuals and books printed by
AMC for the
purpose of selling or repairing its cars. AMC published its own set of automobile books for each
of its models. These are the best publications you can find because the factory itself printed them for your specific automobile. The
different kinds of automotive literature published specifically for
AMCs are described below.

Sales Literature
|
American Motors created, designed and published various kinds of automobile sales literature to
hand out to the general public. These are usually in color, contain large pictures of the various exteriors and interiors
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, press releases,
sales bulletins, post cards and annual reports.

Parts Books
|
AMC compiled and published large, comprehensive Parts Books for
AMCs,
only. Parts Books have both a text and an illustration section, and cover every single part in your automobile. They feature blow up
illustrations of the part, along with the part name, number and description. Parts illustrations show subassemblies and give a great
deal of information for reassembling your car, along with identifying the proper parts for it. 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
AMC Division would sell to each of its dealers one
Data Book and Color/ Upholstery Album for the AMCs for that specific model year. These automobile books, collectively called
"Dealer Albums" were never given to the general public. Moreover, many were thrown out by thoughtless dealers to make
space for the next model year. They are therefore rare, hard to find, and true collector's items. The Data Books are usually
profusely illustrated with interior, exterior, options and accessory choices. The Color and Upholstery Albums have swatches of
the actual upholstery and paint colors available at that time. They also include the code numbers. |

Owners Manuals
|
These are the glove box booklets that give consumers basic information about the
operation and maintenance of their automobiles. They give the
AMC owner a general idea of how to operate the various AMC features and accessories.

Shop Manuals
|
AMC
designed and printed Shop Manuals (also called Service Manuals or Repair Manuals)
with the detail and specifics necessary to effectively maintain and repair their automobiles. 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 Manuals contain the
most complete information available for AMCs. There are engine, transmission, drive line, brakes & suspension, electrical,
wiring diagrams, exhaust sections and much more. Shop/Service Manuals are essentially "how to fix it" books, with
detailed pictures, diagrams, symptoms, tests, etc. If you own a
AMC 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 customers the colors available for their automobiles
in that model year. They are usually the size of a large postage stamp and give the color codes along with the color. These are very
useful in restoring cars, because they help you to find the exact color and code number for
your specific model.
