4.0 out of 5 stars American Car Bible, March 16, 2000
By "kowached" (Detroit, MI) - See all my reviews
The best quick reference guide for all makes and models of American automobiles I have ever seen. Gives key changes to look for to identify specific model years.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great research tool, questionable organization, August 3, 2006
By datac "datac" (Pacific Northwest) - See all my reviews
This is an absolutely invaluable resource for dating old photos. Don't expect much gearhead content- this is strictly a spotters guide, mostly compiled from sales art.

A few complaints about organization:

1. It's a compilation of three other books, so comparing, say, a '39 to a '40 Chevy or a '65 to a '66 Ford requires jumping ahead literally hundreds of pages. Even page numbering starts over in each new section.

2. It's ostensibly in sequence by manufacturer rather than year, but sometimes by model instead- for example, in 1965 and prior, 'Tempest' and 'Thunderbird' follow 'Studebaker', rather than being listed with Pontiac and Ford. Jump ahead to 1966, and they're back under the manufacturer again... makes navigation a serious act of patience.

3. No index, despite being 1,079 pages.

Warts and all, it's a fantastic resource.

5.0 out of 5 stars The BEST Automobile Reference, March 5, 2003
By Mark Eason (Siesta Key, FL) - See all my reviews
Excellent reference guide to automobiles. Uses actual ads to present the cars. Also includes sticker prices. This is a great book!
