Ross Roy was the advertising agency for Chrysler for many years and produced
these books among other items. There are generally regular sized pages
available also with additional details. You won't find better data than
that presented in these books. Supplemental pages in the rear are often
found and compare the cars feature by feature to their competition. Get
them when you can if at all possible!
I have pages from a 1930 or so one and various other full booklets up to the
late 60s and love them all!
