We have a fairly extensive brochure library at one of the warehouses. Today I went there and shot a few pictures for my D15D restoration and picked out a few others that were interesting to me and the immediate machines I am working on. I thought I'd post those for others interest. Let me know specifics of any other models you might want and I'll see what I can do. It's mostly older ACs. We have a lot for other brands too.
What seemed interesting to me in these was:
1. B from early 50s. Note black starter, orange fronts (no silver), B shroud decal placement, and bullet rear light. I restored mine to this standard even though it's a 51 and this is likely 52 or 53.
2. D17 and D15 decal placement on some photos. Same year different location of the D15 decal. Note in the group photo, it's in the middle of the hood, yet the other photos have it in the more traditional tank position. I cut out the D10 and 12 in the photo, but they also had a D decal in that position. Probably 60 since they had black bar and cream grills.
3. Also weird in that same photo is the front badge has the AC in black.
4. The earlier D17 photo shows a very strange D17 oval decal. That is a colorized photo and I saw the original black and white in another brochure, oddly, that oval decal had a white background, I've never seen that, they colorized it to orange. I'm guessing it was a pre-production mockup decal.
5. Note the orange steering wheel paint. On most original photos, it's in black except for prototypes which appeared to always be orange.
6. D14 has front lug bolts in silver and orange air stack, only time I've ever seen that but could have been colorized by a zealous marketing artist.
