1966 Owners Manuals

[Ronald L.]

A couple of pictures here, of clips of a letter off the cover.

Which one is real (not the reprint)?


How about the color difference on the inside card? Or what's left of it?

The C in Corvette News...

Re: 1966 Owners Manuals

Ronald,

I have two with the Corvette news card, one completely intact.

Both appear as your first picture (with green pixels) on the cover, but as it regards the "C" in the Corvette News cards, I have one of each.

I have three with no Corvette news card. One I believed to be reproduction that has the green pixelation, one I know to be reproduction without the green pixelation and one I truly believe is real, without the green pixelation.

How is that for helping to clear things up?

Of the 4 I have, one is a 1980 reprint, two documented with VIN, etc original and the other supposed to be original.

Those known to be original with or without the card, the Corvette News tab should still be there, meaning that was where the photos was taken and the color on those two match. The unmarked one with more forest green has larger dots and the perforation for the card is remarkably different.

Other notables differences:

Page 5 - Original KEYS and IGNITION SWITCH in red text
? one in black text

Page 38 - the underlined POWERGLIDE text is in black, not red as on the known originals.

Page 41 Missing the (A) (B) (C) (D) in RED in front of the paragraphs, page 42 and 43 are OK.
