This review is from: The World's Strangest Automobiles (Hardcover)

Yes, the title says "World's Strangest Automobiles" but almost all of them are from Europe. They are still very strange and it's still worth buying. I wish, though, that some of the pictures had been taken from better angles so you could see how the car looks all the way around. I want a lot of the cars in it, though....mainly the oranges...

This review is from: The World's Strangest Automobiles (Hardcover)

Full of good pics of weird cars and random facts. Excellent for the guest powder room. Makes a nice Secret Santa gift for the car club Christmas party when the amount you are expected to spend has a low limit.

This review is from: The world's strangest automobiles

The title of this book pretty much tells you all you need to know about the subject matter. It is basically a collection of pictures about weird, unusual cars, with some minimal text about when and why they were made; it seems to be weighted a bit toward British and European models. Although for many of the cars there is little information provided beyond a one or two sentence caption for the photo, most of the pictures are quite good, and it is after all only 111 pages. Even the most ardent car enthusiast isn't likely to say "This book changed my life!", but if you can find it cheap it's definitely worth paging through a time or two.
