1938 Ford Literature

I asked this question a long time ago but no Barners knew anything about it. Possibly Ryan or some newer members know something about it.

My father sold Fords in 1938 and a couple years later he gave me his old dealer sales book. It was about 9 X 11 and an inch or so thick.
Parts were shown on transparent pages and, by turning pages, the car could be "assembled" step-by-step from the suspension to the finished car.

This was my prized "kid" possession for years and very handy for scratch building model cars long before plastic models were available. In 1950, when I was 14, we moved and my mother's friend helped pack while I was in school. A couple weeks later we unpacked, I didn't find it, and was told it was evidently pitched with everything else that was on the same shelf.

Anyone ever seen anything like this?
 
Got to be something on ebay. I have found a few sales books for both my 39 and 77 pickups on ebay recently. LOL
 
Ebay best place to find one...Unfortunately they are going for BIG BUCKS! I have a photo copy of a complete book. Sorry but no color and of course none of the transperencies. I'd be glade to make copies and mail it to you.
