Buick's factory shop manual for all 1952 models: the Special Series 40, Super Series 50 and Roadmaster Series 70, including Riviera, convertible and Estate Wagon bodies. It is organised in 14 numbered groups (introduction, Lubricare, engine, fuel and exhaust, clutch and transmission, rear axle, suspension, steering, brakes, frame, electrical, radio and accessories, sheet metal and body), each split into lettered sections with their own contents lists and numbered paragraphs, and closes with an alphabetical index. The manual refers to B.P.S. bulletins for later changes, to Fisher Body Service News for body work, and to the Buick Master Parts List for trim and paint codes.
