"Fordex Data" $40 book - any reviews?
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 ? - Doug Vieyra, Eureka, Calif |

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.

Re: "Fordex Data" $40 book - any reviews?
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

Re: "Fordex Data" $40 book - any reviews?
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.

Re: "Fordex Data" $40 book - any reviews?
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. Larry Shepard Last edited by larrys40; 02-03-2015 at 12:42 AM. |
