"Fordex Data" $40 book - any reviews?

[DougVieyra]

I see a new publication has arrived that deals with the Ford Model A ; the 216 page reprint of a 1930 Ford sales training manual "FORDEX DATA", for $40, plus $6 shipping.

Has anyone bought a copy of this book ? And for those who have, can you give us your impressions, and comment on its value and usefulness to the mainstream Model A owner ?

Maybe the clubs with a club library will buy it and someone can give a review.

I found a full page ad for it on page 31 of the latest (Winter 2015) issue of MODEL A TIMES quarterly magazine, by FORD BARN Forum member John LaVoy. The ad is the same thing you see when you open the Ulysses6 (post #5 above) last (3rd) web link (facebook)

I was told I would get one to review but haven't seen it yet. Looked at the MAFCA banquet . It was a raffle prize. I've seen the original it was copied from and the copy process etc. looked good. Lots of detailed information about how the Model A was being sold in 1930.

Came in the mail today! Seems like a lot if the information came from other books such as The Legendary Model A Ford Etc. Nice pictures. Graphs. Misc information another book for the shelf. Rate C

I bought one from Jim Spawn at the Little Rock Meet in December. I have read it through and found it to be an informative book. There are some great illustrations in the book. It was a fun read. I feel it is an important piece of Ford History. I would buy it again. Jim is also donating part of the profit to the Model A Foundation. Another reason to support this book. Jay

I thought FaceBook required people to use their real names. How do these facebook sites have no reference to real people, and are just advertising stuff for sale? I am not a Facebook member so I don't really know how this works.
Thanks

Vince, it could happen in several ways. Facebook really does not have a way to verify a real name on an account. In addition to a personal FB account, I have a business account on Facebook which does not cost me a dime. Also, they sell advertising where they allow ads to be shown to a demographic market that I choose. The costs for this range anywhere from a dollar a day to however much I want to spend. Facebook is generating mega amounts off of advertising for businesses.

Is there any info on the AA trucks? Specs, outsourced body providers, etc.?

Thanks,

Stew

 

[Gary WA]

Yes. and also there is a book Truck Owner Ford Model A/AA by A.G. McMillan that has a lot of info on AA's.

I'm wondering if the Fordex book is the same or different than the "Ford Sales Manual" for dealer and salesmen is the same or similar. I picked this up from one of the barn members a while back. It's an original 1930 edition with truck supplements from '29 and '30 as well.

Pretty nice shape for the age.
