The Original Book Of The Ford - How To Get The Best Out Of A Ford Car Or Van.
By R.T. Nicholson
Issued by "The Motor"
Published by Temple Press Limited: London c1926 10th Edition
"
First published to meet the needs of the rapidly growing population of Ford owners, The Original Book of the Ford became one of the most widely used practical handbooks of the Model T era. Written by R. T. Nicholson, this tenth and revised edition reflects the maturity of Ford motoring in the mid-1920s, offering owners a comprehensive and authoritative guide to getting the very best performance, reliability, and economy from their cars, vans, and trucks.
The book covers every aspect of Ford ownership in clear, methodical detail, from ordering and delivery through to driving technique, routine maintenance, lubrication, electrical equipment, troubleshooting, and winter storage. Particularly valuable are the detailed diagrams, lubrication charts, and mechanical illustrations, which demystify the workings of the Ford engine and chassis for the practical owner. Sections devoted to repairs, adjustments, accessories, and earlier Ford models make this a genuinely complete reference rather than a simple owner's pamphlet.
Richly interleaved with period advertising for oils, spark plugs, transmissions, and accessories, the book also serves as a vivid snapshot of inter-war motoring culture and the commercial ecosystem surrounding the Ford Motor Company. As both a technical manual and a historical artefact, this edition would appeal strongly to Model T restorers, early motoring historians, and collectors of vintage automotive literature and ephemera."
