Product Description

No auto show is complete without innovative, zany, extravagant, and just plain way-out concept cars. They allow the car manufacturers an invaluable opportunity to test radical design initiatives, from aerodynamic body shapes to alternative power sources. This beautifully photographed volume traces the evolution of the concept car from the landmark General Motors Y-Job of 1939, through the dream cars of the 1950s, up to the futuristic designs of today. Focusing mainly on the 1980s and 1990s, Concept Cars will delight car enthusiasts of all ages. 150 full-color photographs.

5.0 out of 5 stars Concept Cars is a Concept, November 14, 2000

By	Rick Rodriguez (Cleveland, Ohio) - See all my reviews

Concept Cars is an exceptional book! The cars are stunning. The book includes cars like a Dodge Copperhead, a Chrysler Atlantic, a Smart Car, and many other awesome vehicles. Concept Cars has interesting facts to offer and cars that you probably couldn't have dreamed of. If you want some information on some really radical cars, this is the book that you want to read! If you don't want to spend a lot for the real car, this is the next best thing!

5.0 out of 5 stars An Excelent Book!, June 12, 2000

By	Ryan DeYoung (United States/ Florida.) - See all my reviews

One heck of a book! It tells you everything you need to know. The "Concept Cars" book gives you tons of information on the classic, modern, and future concept cars. Each time you turn the page, its a different car. This book explains everything that you need to know, like how fast, or the car's history, it even tells you size, and seating positions, this book even tells you what the car's body is made up of. Like I said, there is everything there is to know about these cars in this book. I recomend this book because it gives alot of information, and also because I enjoy reading about cars. There is a total of 94 pages with many pictures and information. Read this book and you'll be one happy customer!
