Excellent source of information, concise, clear and readable. Mr. Benjaminson has combined lots of history and rare factory information with stunning photos and fascinating behind-the-scenes info. It's a must-have for anyone with a DeSoto or Plymouth!

1.0 out of 5 stars Buyer's Guide - NOT!, October 27, 2002

This review is from: Illustrated Plymouth and Desoto Buyer's Guide (Motorbooks International Illustrated Buyer's Guide Series) (Paperback)

The title should read "A General Mini-Overview of Plymouths and Desotos". This book does not talk about value, does not deal in parts but only gives very little information on these cars through the years. The type of information included in this book can be found, in much more detail and thoroughness, in less costly books which I already have. There are less than 4 pages of generalizations dedicated to my 1956 Plymouth. Save your money.

2.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing....., August 7, 2006

(REAL NAME)   

This review is from: Illustrated Plymouth and Desoto Buyer's Guide (Motorbooks International Illustrated Buyer's Guide Series) (Paperback)

As a enthusiast of these wonderful autos, I WANTED to like this, but I found this "guide" very general and lacking any real depth. There aren't any books out there that deal with these two subjects in this format. This may be why as the publication is nothing short of disappointing. Two stars may be construed as generous to a real automobile book critic.
