As with every car, an Owner's Manual comes with it. Not many even take the time to even glance through it or think much of it regardless of what make and model it is of. When first starting, I didn't think much of them either and simply dismissed them. However, somewhere along the way I had idea to collect the Owner's Manuals from all the places the S12 was sold. The journey in collecting the manuals from all over the world has spanned years and added up to a tidy sum spent to complete the collection.

I attempted to find one for each year and from differing geographical locations but I was off by one year. :(

Great collection! I'm proud to have my '85 book and my '68 el camino college car book too. It's amazing how these usually get pitched early in the vehicle's life.

Nice Draco! I've got my 87' manual...I guess I'll take up the task soon of gathering or at least trying to gather different manuals, ads, etc. Interesting what you read when you actually read your manual! Nice collection man.
