So while I am waiting to start my Oval restoration I have been collecting items I want for it. Just mainly odds and ends as I come across them. Now I am trying to find an owners manual and I had a question. Since my car is was produced in January 1956 shouldn't it have an August 1955 Owners Manual?

I honestly don't know but I see there is a January, 1956 Owner's Manual listed on the site so if I was to guess, it came with that one.

It's possible the January edition just has some correction or update though.
Often if there is a new version soon after an August issue, it is because of some correction.

I know you are looking for the owners manual. But I'm working on my oval now, and got good use of the workshopmanual for oval while restorating.

I see it on amazon.com

Thanks, my wife got that manual for me at Christmas.
The only January manual I saw was in German.

Yes, the only one on the site is in German.
I don't know if there is an English version too.
If anyone has one, please chime in.
If you can provide scans or lend it to me to scan, even better.

Unlike the vehicles I don't think the manuals followed a particular printing date pattern.
