1957 Ford Thunderbird Shop Manual
Anyone out there have success purchasing a downloadable shop manual? I prefer a pdf version but want to make sure the vendor is reputable.

Re: 1957 Ford Thunderbird Shop Manual
There is a caveat on purchasing shop service and parts related literature in the modern era. The old original Ford manuals had very good photographic quality to their prints but a lot of reproduction stuff over the years used poor copy methods to reproduce them. If a CD was produced utilizing good quality original documents then the digitized material should be pretty close to OEM. If they used a poor copy then it will be as poor a quality as the copy used. Faxon's has been around a long time so hopefully, their digitized stuff is good.

It has the OFFICIAL FORD STAMP of APPROVAL so it is a quality product.

Faxon sells on ebay. Probably the best (and cheapest) place to buy.

Or go directly to the source: http://www.faxonautoliterature.com/ Their brick and mortar store is just down the street from where I worked before I retired. Good people to deal with. IMO
