I knew I was in trouble with this book when the first image I saw was a 1965 Chevelle convertible and the caption read "...the 1964 convertible looks great from any angle...." and was found in the 1964 model section.

The book has a decent array of basic model and production data but it is data that is also available from many other sources, there is nothing particularly new or unique about the data presented. It's nice to have the data all in one place but I'm skeptical that the data is correct since they could not even identify the correct model year in their picture captions. I also saw many cars featured in the photos that were not exactly the best representations of the various models. Many cars presented had obvious restoration errors and/or aftermarket equipment.

I found that the book may be a good general reference tool for someone who already knows a good deal about Chevelles, so you can be aware when the book is correct and not correct, but would be an inadequate tool for someone hoping to learn about Chevelles in the first place.

I'm glad I got the book at a steep discount, otherwise I would have had to return it.
