The Cars of San Sylmar by Dennis Adler, is the official publication of the famous Nethercutt car collection, a museum located in San Sylmar, CA. Having collected major automotive marques since WWII, Mr. J.P. Nethercutt has amassed one of the world's most important automobile collections. Dennis Adler, an award winning automotive photographer & journalist with over 5,000 articles to his credit, was chosen by the museum to be the writer and photographer for this unique publication. A stunning visual masterpiece with many 2-page color spreads, no expense was spared to make this new 9x12 inch landscape book an extraordinary literary achievement. Not only are most of the more famous and well-known cars pictured and described, but all the cars are listed in a photo index. Additionally, there is a chapter on mechanical musical instruments, since the Nethercutt Museum also contains one of the world's best collections of these rare and unusual artifacts.

Great Book for Great Cars,
By
This review is from: The Nethercutt Collection : The Cars of San Sylmar (Hardcover)
For the first time, all of the automobiles in the Jack Nethercutt Collection are pictured in one book! This book exhibits all the characteristics a book on automobiles should have. Using it's horizontal format to great advantage, photographer Dennis Adler displays all of the cars in all their glory. Mr. Adler understands his subjects and each photograph shows exactly what the viewer would wish to see. The text is short, concise, and highly accurate. Due to space limitations, there is little technical data. This is not missed. Also touched upon, are the Nethercutts' collection of mechanical musical instruments-- pianos and automotive mascots. This book has my highest recommendation and exhibits better photography and more taste than some books costing many times over.

My father and I just got back from visiting The Nethercutt Museum. The book does a great job of bringing the museum home with you. If you can get to the museum you can pick up a copy of the book at the reception desk for [money]-a bargain.
