In Search of Publications Relating to 1966 Ford Bronco

[EdwardNDTX]

I am restoring a 1966 Bronco roadster and interested in obtaining copies of any books, articles, publications, or manuals that might be helpful in learning about the history of the 1966 Bronco. I’d also be interested in learning about any archives and/or persons I should consult to learn more about the 1966 Bronco.

Below are the resources I have identified thus far, most of which I have or am in the process of obtaining. If you know of any other publications I should try to find —or if you are willing to share copies of any articles —please let me know.
