We specialize in automobile literature, manuals and books printed by the Pontiac
Division of General Motors for the purpose of selling or repairing its cars. Pontiac, like each General Motors Division, 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 Pontiacs are described
below.

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

Parts Books
|
The Pontiac Division compiled and published large, comprehensive Parts Books for
Pontiac, 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 Pontiac Division would sell to each of its dealers
one Data Book and Color/ Upholstery Album for the Pontiacs 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 Pontiac owner a general idea of how to operate the various
Pontiac features and accessories.

Shop Manuals
|
Pontiac 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 Pontiacs. 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 Pontiac 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.

Service Bulletins
|
The Pontiac Division published Service Bulletins to deal with specific automobile repair
and maintenance issues as they arose in order to update their Shop/Service Manuals. Service bulletins are usually detailed and
specific as to one or two problems that were not known at the time the Shop/Service Manual was published. They contain a wealth
of information as to these problems. |
