Product Description

American Muscle Cars is the most comprehensive pictorial history yet published of that bygone era when the nation's roads were ruled by big-block classics like the Chevy Chevelle, Ford Mach 1, Pontiac GTO, and Plymouth Duster. Almost 20 years after the last of Detroit's vintage muscle cars rolled off the assembly line, this handsomely illustrated volume serves as an important nostalgic tribute to these symbols of 1960s and 1970s youth. Holder and Kunz leave no original material out of this paperback edition-they cover the entire spectrum of muscle car models produced by GM, Ford, Chrysler, and American Motors. Engaging descriptions and a wealth of photographs (including 16 pages in full color) recapture the glory days of the Chevy Camaro, and many more. The authors also feature several factory production models, including drag cars, Trans-Am racers, and Indy pace cars. Every car shown actually exists-still loved, cared for, and driven by its proud owner-depicting the very best in muscle car mania.

By	Benny Wilkerson (Scottsdale, Arizona United States) - See all my reviews

This is a great book for the muscle-car lover.Its comprehensive,offers accurate and complete technical specs and great photos of some of the hottest american cars ever produced.This book is recommended only for men 45 years old or older,its not appropriate for these young guys that werent even around when these cars were conceived and built!

5.0 out of 5 stars A muscle-car lovers dream!, April 26, 2002

By	Benny Wilkerson (Scottsdale, Arizona United States) - See all my reviews

This is a great book in the category of muscle-cars and one of the best offered by Amazon.com,however its not recommended for todays youth who werent around when these great cars ruled the roads.To enjoy this book,you need to be at least in your mid to late thirties.This book is not intended for todays teens or early twenties,theyre only permitted to enthuse about todays cars.
