1928-48 Ford Car and Truck Master Parts and Accessories Catalogue (eBook) review
An 808-page digital reprint of the original 1928-48 Ford parts catalogue for restorers, sold for $16.95 by ForelPublishing.com with same-day download, though the site names no company or address behind it.
Worth a look
For a restoration hobbyist, this catalogue does what it says: a specific page count, a specific model range and a price that matches the order form exactly, with instant delivery and no shipping fee. The claim of Ford's licensing and approval is plausible for this kind of vintage-manual business but is not something we could confirm ourselves. The bigger gap is that ForelPublishing.com gives no address, phone number or named contact anywhere we looked, so if a download link fails or a refund is needed, you are relying on a "Tech Support" link we could not read the content of. The 60-day ClickBank guarantee limits the downside. We call this a cautious yes: the product itself is well described, but the seller's identity behind the domain is thin.
