I would suggest that you try _Hemmings Motor News_, which is a monthly magazine featuring–among other things–ads placed by people who are selling parts and other items related to older vehicles. Even if nobody is advertising that they have these manuals available, you could place an ad, stating your desire to buy these manuals. Hopefully, someone who has these manuals would read your ad and respond. If you can’t find _Hemmings Motor News_ at your local retailer, a visit to the nearest Barnes & Noble book store will allow you to find this publication. ---

Ask at your local P.O. where the vehicle maintenance facility is in your area…It’s usually a fairly big operation. They will have the service manuals for your prize and perhaps will allow you to make a copy… ---

Caddyman’s suggestion is a good one. Give his approach a try, and if it is not successful, then you might want to try my suggestion. ---
