5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic, July 11, 2006

This review is from: Collectible Automobile (Magazine)

Beautifully produced, incredible detail, gorgeous photography.

Articles generally are about a series of similar cars; for example, 1964-66 Mustangs, which generally have the same body and chassis with superficial differencies over the model run. The typical article treats the subject as a business project over the course of several years, following from the design/engineering/tooling stage through the evolution and changes. The writers usally set the subject in context by describing the market conditions, competing products, and the product that the manufacturer superseded with the subject design.

If you are an enthusiast of a particular car, it is very likely that "Collectible Automobile" has previously covered it. The magazine hasn't rehashed exactly the same subjects, though an area may be revisited from a different perspective (eg, a recent article about GM's fleet of 1959 cars, though all of GM's 1959 cars have previously been covered in separate brand-specific articles that span several years).

Because there's no advertising (other than other products from the same publisher), there's no significant discount for subscriptions. I recommend buying a single copy from a newsstand, then ordering other interesting issues from the list at the back of the magazine.

This review is from: Collectible Automobile (Magazine)

My husband has been a car enthusiast and collector for most of his 60+ years.This magazine is always at the top of his "wish list" every birthday or Christmas (for me to renew!!) He's got every issue since they were first published and he'll drop everything the day it arrives in the mailbox and read it from cover to cover. It's a high-quality magazine with excellent photographs and detailed articles. We highly recommend this magazine for anyone who is a true classic car lover!

This review is from: Collectible Automobile (Magazine)

I live in England in the UK and I first bought Collectible Automobile 10 years ago. For anyone who appreciates classic American metal, this magazine is an absolute must.

The quality of the whole magazine is simply superb. From the fabulous photographs, to the high quality of the paper itself, and the comprehensive technical details of all the automobiles in the magazine.

It is by far the best quality automobile magazine that I have ever read.
