California Bill's Automotive Handbooks

“California Bill Fisher” began his publishing career in 1949, and throughout his life cars remained his passion. Since his death in 1999, his son Howard has continued to operate the family publishing business. We still publish the classic California Bill’s books from the ’50s, which give us a window into that era which continues to be enjoyed by auto buffs.

In the ’90s, we expanded our line to include books on auto upholstery, Nissan & Datsun engine rebuilding and modification. We also have nostalgic books showing pictures of the great Fords of the ’50s and ’60s in color, written by Michael Parris, whose personal knowledge and friendship with those at Ford bring little known facts and stories to the reader.

Our books are clearly written by experienced “hands on” authors. Instructional photos throughout help guide the auto enthusiast through every step of the project.
