5.0 out of 5 stars The Best Generalist's Book On Classic Cars, September 4, 2005
By TR3 Enthusiast (Vancouver, BC, Canada) - See all my reviews
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.

4.0 out of 5 stars Enclyclopedia of Classic Cars, July 27, 2008
By J. Lindner (Gem Lake, MN United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
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.
