Valuation of an original service manual and owners guide

[plumbob]

I have an original 1956 Buick Product Service Bulletins manual( abridged edition)for Nov 4, 1955 to Oct 19,1956. The book is in very good condition. I also have an original 1956 Buick Owner,s Guide. These books belonged to my father before his passing when he was attempting to restore a 1956 Buick Special Convertable. He never finshed the restoration and the car was sold. My question to anyone is as to the valuation of these books, if they have any collector value. I would appreciate any information

plumbob...Welcome to the AACA Forum.

Just a thought...why not donate them to the AACA Library & Research Center in your father's name. Future hobbyist could benefit from the historical content in restoration, or, research. <img src="http://forums.aaca.org/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />

Approximate value is about $25 each

...Depending heavily on condition. $25 would be a good number to expect for excellent condition examples. If these are badly worn or soiled you can expect less, a <span style="font-style: italic">lot</span> less in the case of the more easily found owner's manual.

eBay would be your best bet for selling them, just be sure to describe them as completely and accurately as possible.
