These books were written to be as comprehensive as is humanly possible for each of the various marques they cover. I find them to be a tremendously useful reference, and an interesting read as well. The majority of this book is from the original "Sixty Years of Chevrolet", which was written back when Camaros were used cars at best. Therefore there is no great emphasis on the V8 period of Chevrolet's history, which will bother the performance types. Also, in any hand written (i.e. no spellcheck!) volume of this breadth there are going to be a few typos and errors, and most of these in this book are very obvious. However, if your interests run beyond just the high performance aspects of the Chevrolet marque, or if you want a good comprehensive background in how Chevrolet got itself into the position where it could become the performance icon it is, this is best book available.

I cannot believe this tomb made it to publication. The copy I purchased was shrink wrapped and looked promising. Good thing for Mr. Dammann I could not see before I bought the parade of mistakes, poor spelling, (Camero?) and complete lack of useful information. What was the purpose of this book?

What a train wreck.
