This review is from: American Horsepower: 100 Years of Great Car Engines (Hardcover)
While a good book in general, there are serious omissions that should have been caught by the editor.While the Model A and X Duesenbergs were well described, the much more dramatic J and SJ have no photos of these engines. Why? If there ever was a spectacular American engine these were certainly it. Photos are all over the place for both of them and easily obtained, from the ACD Museum for one source. Leaving out the Marmon V-16 is a bad omission. Poor decisions by either the author or the editor.
