No book is perfect for the collector, but this is probably the best for car collectors. With over 1000 of the world's finest models, from over 200 marques, it has certainly captured the best amongst its pages. It also has some strange picks, but it doesn't claim to only list the top cars. And the world doesn't start in 1945 for this author, his team goes back as far as 1891 for their car selections. Excellent colour photos, with some B/W. Godd source of information on cars from the 1930s. With over 500 pages, this is a big book in all dimensions. Great value.
I agree with the previous reviewer who said no book is complete. I enjoyed this book but it is missing a few muscle cars that I would have thought would be included. The Chevrolet Nova and Malibu is omitted, as is the El Camino and Ford Ranchero. But these omissions do not really detract from an otherwise comprehensive book. There are foreign makes I've never heard of (some of these may have omissions as well, but who's to say?).The book gives horsepower information and other pertinent engine data. Many of the photos are in black and white but there are several in color as well. This is a good coffee table book that should keep car enthusiasts occupied for many hours.
Purchased used --very good condition for a young boy (7) very interested in cars. He love it and will enjoy for years. Photos and basic description will keep him interested now and as he gets older the detailed information on each car is so thorough. Not certain if I would spend the money to purchase new, but for the used cost--again condition very good and looked nearly new, was the best b-day gift I was told.
This is a great compilation of collectible cars done in alphabetical order. This book does a great job in capturing most of the interesting cars ever made but does not list all ie the Monti Verde, the Peerless, the Morgan Plus 4 Plus, etc. but it is a very impressive body of work.
I actually felt guilty making a piece of art out of this book! I carved the beautiful pages to reveal several of the cars within. It is now in the office of a car aficionado in Georgia.You'll love this book if you love classic cars! You might love the "altered book" even more!
This book tries to cover everything from the queen's mum Damiler to muscle and misses the mark by it's too brief discriptions and lacking photos that are more than available. Great cover but lacks in content.
This was a birthday gift for my son-in-law who just loves loves loves classic cars !. He called me and thanked me for the book saying he really liked it because it was a very comprehensive collection of wonderful old cars with lots of models and some that he had forgotten about! He was very pleased and so was I.
Bought this for my son who's getting very interested in Classic cars... He hasn't put the book down!! And won't stop talking about all the facts and information that are crammed into this beautifully illustrated piece... Buy a copy for your self today
