A good book to familiarize yourself with some of the greatest cars in history. Good photos, although some are not as clear as they should be. Nice history on each car. The one downside is the author holds all British marques above everything else, especially against any American cars. Also, I don't believe a rebadged Honda Accord "Rover Sedan" is a classic. If you can overlook the ethnocentrism and British language, this would be a good companion to Quentin Willson's The Ultimate Classic Car Book.

This review is from: 50 Years of Classic Cars (Hardcover)

When I got this book for Christmas, I was so excited. I had seen it at Crowns and I wanted it. It is full of colored pictures of sports, exotics, and classic cars. The cars in this book rang from the very exotic Bugati EB 110 GT to the classic and very ugly Healy Elliot. It has a whole lot of info and stats. It has alot of writing and tons of pictures. If you are thinking about this book, you should say yes and take a look at 100 Greatest Sports Cars, another great title. By, Brian the car lover of Illinois.
