{"product_id":"2940149818839","title":"Ford Manual (1919): For Owners and Operators of Ford Cars and Trucks","description":"Take a look at a genuine Ford owner manual from 1919 and see how automobiles have changed from then until now.  This work has been formatted for your NOOK as well.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eForeword\u003cbr\u003eIt is a significant fact that nearly all Ford cars are driven by laymen—by owners, who in the great majority of cases have little or no practical experience with things mechanical.\u003cbr\u003eThe simplicity of the Ford car and the ease with which it is operated renders an intimate knowledge of mechanical technicalities unnecessary for its operation.\u003cbr\u003eAnd the further fact that there are more than twenty thousand Ford service stations distributed throughout the civilized world—where adjustments and repairs may be had with no annoying delay—gives to Ford owners a singular freedom from mechanical annoyances which beset owners of cars having limited service facilities and distribution.\u003cbr\u003eBut while it is not imperative, it is, however, altogether desirable that every Ford owner should thoroughly understand his car. With such knowledge at his command he is always master of the situation—he will maintain his car more economically—prolong its usefulness—and he will also derive more pleasure from it, for it is a truism that the more one knows about a thing the more one enjoys it.\u003cbr\u003eThe mastery of a thorough knowledge of Ford construction is by no means a difficult or time-consuming task. The Ford is the simplest car made. It is easy to understand, and is not difficult to keep in proper adjustment and repair.\u003cbr\u003eThat the Ford construction may be thoroughly understood—and that there may be an authoritative guide for the making of Ford adjustments—this book is published.\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Bronson Tweed Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47075643785456,"sku":"2940149818839","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940149818839_p0.jpg?v=1763724690","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940149818839","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
