Welcome from Iowa.
Yup, you're correct about these reprints.
I bought a book from this site which is a reprint of a Chevy Sales book. It describes in detail all the info on the '56 models and I think that you will be impressed by its contents. The site has...

Our '56 has an aftermarket steering column that uses a center push button for the horn. Our car has an original looking (smaller diameter) steering wheel that uses the factory type horn assembly, so...
