The "50 years" is from 1930 to 1989. Color photos, and a good many b&w, have been included here with a lavish hand (we wish the Yugoslav printers had been more competent the illustrations are mediocre). The "Auto Editors of Consumer Guide " have provided good, brief histories of the cars. These range from the born-a-half-century-too-soon Bantam & Willys through the still-shocking horrors of the prodigal 50s and 60s to the legislated reason of the more efficient, less vulgar 80s. Arranged alphabetically by name in two sections the history and photo section, and the specifications section. No bibliography. Annotation copyright Book News, Inc. Portland, Or.

Ive had it for a few years now and it still does not get boring. The cars range from American cruisers to European exotics. Every car has a large paragraph written on it along with for/against and new and used prices. The write-ups are very exact and insightful, they include bhp/torque, engine sizes and bore/stroke. If there are any drawbacks it is that the prices are not quite up to date and that it only includes cars to 1990."; 12.7 X 10.1 X 1.7 inches; 720 pages. Seller Inventory # 21473
