My guess would be to cover the vehicles manufactured between Dec 1932 to April 1934 ?

Maybe this could be of interest to someone, not interested in selling it but am more than anxious to help someone that might glean info from it. Might be you will tell me these are common and we can forget this post ever existed but if this is maybe something of interest to anyone here or Jim maybe you could pass along the invite to ask for further information concerning this copy I have found.
Thanks again
Hi Jason,
I am learning all the time and try to post as much information as possible to help others as pay back for the many people who have helped me over the years. I just wish I had more time to do more work to this site. If you have info that you think should go in the tech area let me know and we could get it posted.

Any American publications that I have from Chrysler Corp. have a 'D' number at the bottom of the front cover. Any Canadian ones have a 'WM' number.
Had an epiphany. Would 'D' stand for Detroit and 'WM' stand for Windsor Manufacture?

Hi Jason,
I haven't had a chance to follow up with Jim's contact Andy. I to am confused with the term "CO/C".
As far as the used car's are concerned I was thinking of a large regional dealership that used these for used Chrysler Products not other cars. Of course this is just a guess and has no research merit. Jim is a published Plymouth historian and his friend Andy, who I don't know, he states that he has been collecting Chrysler documentation for a lifetime. (50 years) I am not sure if they are convinced that these are Chrysler publications and might be old copies or reprints. But the jury is still out and we learn new things every day.
I will try to get in contact with Andy and forward the pictures you posted. Maybe he has seen something like these books over his years of collecting. Unfortunately I have some things going on right now that are slowing me down a little but will be in touch soon.

Quote from: Old Man on January 30, 2013, 03:42:39 PMYes I have seen the conventional instruction booklets, pretty familiar with them. Maybe these were an alternative instruction booklet, Chrysler was looking at any and all possibilities during this time to save cost. I do not know where they came from for sure, e-bay would be a good bet though.
That black and white 'narrowing to a point' ship crest started in 1931 with the PA Plymouth. The rad medallion was square before that. The '33 came with the conventional booklet with 'PLYMOUTH SIX' or words to that effect on their cover. There were about 4 issues in '33 both 1st and 2nd editions for the PC and then the PD as well as Canadian versions. But all had the description for the car on the cover. However they did have that page 'A Personal Message to Plymouth Owners' and the 'Lock your car' on the facing page up front like yours. But the very next page has a photo(?) of the front seat and dash area of the car as in all the booklets I've ever seen from Chrysler. I have never seen these booklets in my 35 years of playing with old Chrysler cars. Where did you get them?
Quote from: chetbrz on January 29, 2013, 08:25:22 PMSo is there anything within the print that you spot that stands out as either certainly a 33 or maybe significantly later?
The emblem on the cover looks like a 1933 radiator emblem. I'm surprised that there isn't a printing date.
Oh we'll, interesting stuff.
