Company founded
1955
Since 1955 BLACK BOOK has been the only guidebook to quickly reflect the latest wholesale prices direct from the auction lanes. BLACK BOOK survey personnel are the eyes and ears of BLACK BOOK's editorial staff. As the vehicle passes through the auction lane, the vehicle is properly classified by one of four BLACK BOOK conditions: Extra Clean, Clean, Average, or Rough. The mileage and selling price, along with various equipment and trim levels, are recorded by BLACK BOOK survey personnel and faxed to BLACK BOOK's main office in Gainesville, Georgia.
