4.0 out of 5 stars Neat but Eurocentric car book, November 4, 2008
By 
Jasmol (San Diego, CA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Classic Cars: A Celebration of the Motor Car from 1945 to 1975 (Paperback)
If you're primarily an American classic car buff, don't buy this book; Buckley doesn't try to hide his disdain for most Detroit products. Even when he gives kudos to an American car, he can't resist making a snide comment (example: from the entry about the Oldsmobile Toronado: "The purity of the original car was lost on most Americans, who couldn't tell if it was front driven or not - and didn't care."

If you can get past that, the book provides nice coverage of a fairly wide range of vehicles from England, Sweden, Germany, Italy, France, Japan, and the USA. Many of the vehicles therein will be unfamiliar to most Americans.

Suggestions for improvement; maybe a few more stats per each featured vehicle (I'm more interested in 0-60 mph/0-100kph rather than top speed).
