Hi!
After finishing my 1931 R-R Phaeton, I looked into my large cardbox to check what other automobiles I had there for building.
Among others I found two old "Gabriel" metal kits and decided to open the boxes and see if I'd build another automobile. I picked a 1932 Chevrolet Coupe, checked for the parts, and noticed I had already cleaned the metal parts (even painted part of the roof) so decided it was a good one to build next.
I then noticed that the Assembly Instructions was missing on the box. Checked a dossier where I keep old manuals, instructions sheets, etc (even for most of the kits I've already built many moons ago), but couldn't find it!
Checked a second metal kit box, another "Gabriel" made model, a Station Wagon. To my surprise there was no Assembly Instructions whatsoever in that box neither! Nor on my dossier with lots of other Assembly Instructions!
So, I'm missing two Assembly Instructions for these two models!
Has anyone here ever built these models (or not but still having them), and would have these Assembly Instructions?
If so, would it be possible to scan them and email them to me?
Or does anyone know where online I could find some site for perhaps downloading these Instructions? I did some research and found a site with some Assembly Instructions for downloading, including a couple for "Gabriel" models, but unfortunatelly not the right ones for these two!
Apparently "Gabriel" is now called "Hubley". Or, from what I got, "Hubley" manufactured these car models under the brand "Gabriel".
My 1932 Chevrolet Coupe (Nº: 4859) is this one shown on this eBay add:

My Station Wagon (Nº: 4858) is this one on this other eBay add:

I'll keep looking online, but have little hope I'll find these two!
Thanks!
Cheers!
