5.0 out of 5 stars
excellent resource for quick car details,
By A Customer
This review is from: A-Z of Cars of the 1980s (Paperback)
this is the book to get if you want accurate interesting 50 word summaries of many models of most major auto marques with a b&w photo for every one - the text is part technical info, road test anecdotes, gripes , insights etc - the reviews of cars i know have been very accurate and its fun to just flip thru all the very different approaches to automobile engineering [there are 2 other companion books cars of 1945-70 and of the 70s - both also great]
