This review is from: TV Cars: Star Cars from the World of Television (Hardcover)

A lot of the cars in this book I have never heard of, or the TV series they were used in. Some of the normal TV cars are mentioned (Batmobile, Knight Rider, etc), but most would only be known to series watchers outside the U.S.

Which makes this a good book for your collection if you have an interest in TV cars not already featured in other TV and movie car books.
