This review is from: Chevrolet History, 1940-1954 (Pictorial History Series, No. 2) (Hardcover)
Ted Boland did a great job explaining this book in his review. But let me tell you, where he is a Ford Guy, I am a Chevy Guy, and this book is perfect for lovers of the Bowtie. This is part of a series of books by John Robertson on Chevrolet. It contains a rich treasure trove of publicity photos taken by GM, most if not all of which I have never seen before. He gives enough detail to not bore you, and you can tell he has a good grasp on GM history. Of course 1941-1954 covers World War Two (when car production virtually stopped), and the post-war boom. What's really interesting is this is often considered to be Chevy's "stodgy" period, just before Chevrolet came out with its new V-8 engines, which turned the '55-'57 Chevys into some of the most sought-after-by-collectors cars ever! But those pre-55s were solid automobiles, and popular with growing families (I, myself, bounced around in the front seat in my mother's arms in a '54 Chevy while Dad drove. No child seats in those days!).

This whole series by Robertson is worth having if you're a Chevy fan, a Classic Cars fan, or as Ted said, even a Ford fan.
