Description: An Original and Vintage 1926 Chiltons Auto Directory! This is an Original 1926 Chiltons Catalog and Directory, (copyright Oct 1926), a 704 page hard back book of all sorts of useful information, data and parts source from yesteryear. This authentic and vintage book was THE leading parts directory on automobiles! This magazine was published by the Chiltons Class Publishing Company, who started printing automobile publications way back in 1885! The Chilton Company would eventually buy out the rights to use the name Motor Age Magazine, and started publishing the Motor Age line of auto manuals & books in 1922. This book has all the companies associated with making all parts back in the late 1910 to 1920's! Manhattan Ignitions, New Haven Clocks, Pyro and Quaker Alcohols, SBR and Torrington Bearings, Stewart Warner and Bendix Brakes, Packard Electric Co, and Brunner Air Compressors, Purolator and Cuno Oil/Air Filters, Apollo Magnetos, and Zip-Tite Spare Tire Covers, and more!…. The great thing about this directory is the super data tables and invaluable car specs for old cars! Here we have 485 pages of Auto Suppliers, Parts and Accessory Manufacturers, Machinery Companies . If that's not enough, there's the "100 page Service parts Section covering Car Serial Numbers, Pistons/Pins/Rings/Bushings, Hoses/Tubes/Fan Belts, Brake Lining, Lamp Bulbs, Headlights, Clutch Facings. Then starting on pages of late 500's to 650's, we have the Bearings and Misc Data, Auto Trade Associations and Clubs. This book would help these types of owners with finding parts and parts data: Auburn, Buick, Cadillac, Chandler, Chevy, Chrysler, Continental Engines, Davis 98, Diana 8, De Soto, Dodge, Durant, Elcar, Ford, Elcar, Essex, Flint, Franklin, Gardner, Graham-Paige, Hudson, Hupmobile, Jordan, Kissel, La Salle, Lincoln, Locomobile, Marmon, McFarlan, Moon, Nash, Oakland, Olds, Overland, Packard, Paige, Peerless, Pierce-Arrow, Plymouth, Pontiac, REO, Roamer, Roosevelt, Star, Studebaker, Stutz, Velie, Viking, Whippet, Wills-St. Claire, Willys-Knight and Windsor.
