OUR HISTORY
How did it all start? In the winter of 1997, we saw a need to preserve the rapidly disappearing repair and rebuild information available to the do-it-yourself (DIY) mechanic community (concerning these beloved older vehicles). An idea emerged for using an electronic format to maintain information and support antique/classic cars and trucks. It was soon brought to life and we've never looked back. Detroit Iron recognized that the lifeblood of this industry is the younger people who grew up with computers and would welcome the availability of this valuable information in an electronic form.
Our roots may be in digital, but we're thrilled to offer a large (and growing!) line of beautiful print manuals too. Customers already loved our electronic manuals, but in 2015 we listened to them when many expressed desires for print versions. They weren't happy with the low-resolution scans and poor-quality materials (among other issues) which existed on the market. In 2016, Detroit Iron created high-resolution print masters. At that time, we outsourced the printing aspect of production to a local Dallas, TX printer. By 2018, we took full control of the printing process. Detroit Iron now utilizes a first-rate, in-house, digital print shop, including both color and black and white digital presses, binding, cutting, and shrink-wrapping machines. With these superior machines in place, Detroit Iron Publishing handles the entire process. Our coverage continues to expand, but our dedication to excellence remains.
