I am looking for a copy of the Operating instructions that would have come in the folder with the owners manual. I am working on reproducing a copy of the folder the owners manual would go into and have been able to purchase all of the other items that would have been in the folder but the operating instructions. Anyone with a copy they would be willing to part with? I plan on scanning and reproducing it using adobe illustrator so it doesn't need to be pristine.

    Here is the cleaned up copy of the 51 folder. Now I just need to find a printer to print the 14.5 x 14.5 inch document in color on card stock.

    Have you tried something like digitizing it (high resolution) and then taking it to a place like Staples or some large-format reproduction company?

    Most places can only print up to 13 inches by 19 inches. I am trying to decide if I want to shrink the item a little to fit it into 13 inches but then the owners manual may not fit into the pocket.

    Check with a local print shop . they will have better equipment than a Staples store,

    As Far as I can tell, the new 51 Hudson would have come with an owners manual, a folder for the manual, owners identification card, owners service policy, National battery care card, Chrome care brochure, Radio owners manual and an operating instruction sheet. As mentioned above, I can't find a copy of the 51 operating sheet. Here are pictures of what I have. The file above is for the folder. Anyone with a copy of the Operating Instructions for 51?

    Here is a picture of an operating instruction from a 48 Hudson similar to what I am looking for.

    Hi Bill, Just checked through my collection of owner manual packages. 1950 was the
    last one in my collection to have the operatinng instructions sheet. The same info is contained in the manual. Is it possible this was a cost saving measure??
    Does anyone out there have an instruction sheet for 1951 or newer Hudsons??

    Thanks Ric. Do you know if there was a Weather control operating instructions in the 51 owners folder?
