For any devotee of the automobile.
Along with the collage of motor cars within the book, there are feature segments of sizeable articles on automobiles iconic to the history of motor cars. Indepth information on the Ford Model T, the Volkswagon Beetle, the NSU Wankel rotary engine and the DeLorean DMC 12 to name a few. The automobiles are grouped by decade and type (i.e., 1960s Sedans and Sporty Coupes - Buick Riviera 1963).Verified purchase: YesCondition: New
