Sears put out a separate auto parts catalog (I've still got a couple!) but I'm not sure they did that far back; Wards may or may not, I can't recall. All their catalogs are collectible, but I don't know how you'd find a collector who had one, or anyplace that has a file of them (the Montg'y Ward online company has no connection with the Dept store/catalog Wards--they just bought the name etc after the original went kaput!).
