This is one of the best books that I’ve ever read on cars. It has great pictures and shows a wide variety of cars at their prime, just like the site echo valley drag racing. It’s still under custruction, but it still has lots of great pictures plus lots of cool things that are on the way. I ecurage any who goes there to sign the guest book. But this isn’t about echo valley drag racing, this is about Classic Amarican Cars, and I recomend it to anybody who is interested in cars.

When I read this book on Classic American Cars it blew me away but failed to mention about the Renalut Alliance and the power under the hood. My boy the Nook owned one of these classic babes and kicks himself everyday that he got rid of it. He drives to work in his Bentley cussing about how much smoother and more comfortable the ride was in the RA with the leather top. So one day Nook approces me and says “I am about to biuld the 2005 version of this sweetheart”/ My first thought was man he already get any hottie he wants now if he truely builds this the skys the limit. So he gets J-Abs, Kroll and ex-New Orleans Saints LB Vaughn Johnson brings us to his state of the art 40,000 square foot garage and shows us the plans. Vaughn, Kroll and mysekf went to get a case of Pabst Blue Ribbon so we could help and when we returned 30 minutes later it was built and he was painting it a pimp orange while a opal leather top. It has 45″ spinners and 14 18″ kicker speakers throughout the ride. So we go cruisin listening to Too Short’s Life is Too Short and it was like flies on poop with the ladies. Nook literally had to do 3 mph down the main strip just not to run over one of these hot gals. Eat your heart out Monster Garage cause Nook has the granddaddy of them all. Nook is the new improved Renault Alliance and you are the 1987 Yugo.

This book was what started me on Car Books when I was about 15 or 16. Good pictures and information,maybe a mistake or so, but overall ok. Book seems more like a hardcover with those spec sheets put together that are like collector cards.

This is another one of those British books that leaves a lot to be desired. I love the format, but often the cars are incorrect or there’s wrong information. If you want a great general book, then check this one out. If you consider yourself knowledgable on cars and want to complement your collection, look elsewhere.

This book is the best I’ve read on this hard to find subject. Plenty of information that only true Classic car lovers will appreciate. I’ve been a collector of American classics since I graduated college in 1972, and it is very difficult to find accurate information on these cars without spending hours on the Internet-something most of us don’t have the time to do. I was a mechanic for 10 years before owning and operating my own dealership in California, I still own two of the cars covered in this book, the 1963 Ford Thunderbird, and the 1966 Pontiac GTO, the author does a superb job of covering both of them.
