Dear mid-60s Buick owners who need manuals for their modern cars,

The Hemming's blog has a short story on the fellow who created those aftermarket manuals that bear his name: John Haynes.

It is an interesting story of how he ended up getting into the repair manual business.  I have one for our 2000 Buick Century and our 2009 Chevy Cobalt.  It is certainly a lot better than no manual at all.  He certainly appears to have lived out a full "car guy" life.

Cheers, Edouard

"Better than no manual at all"........I gotta say after decades of working on "stuff"....you got a laugh out of me on that one. RIP Mr. Haynes, your manuals were OK.
