New Life for the Done to Death,
By Jon G. Robinson (California) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Mustang: America's Favorite Pony Car (Paperback)
My good review of "Mustang-- America's Favorite Pony Car" may come as a surprise to people how know me. Even for people like me who love old American cars, Mustangs are one of those subjects that's been done to death, along with '55-'57 Chevys, Thunderbirds, and streetrods. I really didn't want to see yet another book on Mustangs, but I found myself unable to put this one down. This is not just another Mustang pep rally. For the first time in years, I found myself learing something about Mustangs. I've seen many California Specials, but I never knew the details of Mustang's High Country Special for 1968 or the evolution of Steve Saleen's amazing post-muscle-era custom performers. Like many, I had passed off the 1970's Pinto-based Mustang IIs as laughable relics of the bad old days, but more than any other chapter, the Mustang II story fascinated me with new and interesting material. For any Mustang enthusiast who's tired of the same old "aren't they wonderful" thing, this book will be a real joy with some subtle humor along the way. Apparently, terrified children were a Mustang option for 1967.

This review is from: Mustang: America's Favorite Pony Car (Paperback)
The book has lots of good information in it. The reason I only give it a 3 star is that most of the pictures are in black and white. I have bought other books about cars that had mostly color pictures and it makes it alot more enjoyable to look at. I have shown friends car books and had them say that was my car and it was that color too. One of the reasons people buy these books is for the memories of cars they had.
