5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome, August 31, 2007

By	Sue A. Wilhite (Des Moines, IA USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is an awesome book. We especially liked the color photos. In many Model A Ford books there are only black and white photos. This one covers the gamut.

5.0 out of 5 stars Ford's legandary cars, November 25, 2007

By	Robert M. Richardson "Model A fan" (Renton Wa.) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

For those of us that are FANS of Henry Ford's Model A, this is a GOOD book to have in your collection. Even for those of you who are not fans this is a GOOD book!
A good complimentary book is "Henry's Lady". This book tells all about the Model A from begings to it's "End of the line". Both books would be GOOD to have in your library!
