Phantom Coaches™ is proud to offer the first on-line library of original sales literature of professional cars. If the literature for your car is listed here then please feel free to peruse it and see what all the wonderful features your coach came with as well as the other models offered by that builder for that year. Or if you just want to read through all of them, enjoy. Note: Feel free to copy as much of this material as you want but PLEASE do NOT link directly to any of the images, thank you.
We need YOUR help to expand this library. As you all know, this kind of literature is extremely rare and hard to find. If YOU have literature we don't, please scan it (or have a friend scan it for you) and send us the images. We'll put them up and give you the credit or you can choose to remain anonymous.
NOTE: In order to retain the detail found in much of the literature, most of it is scanned in high resolution resulting in large files. Please be patient when viewing some of the larger images. Thank you.
