General Automotive Reviews

I have a Cadillac Cimarron and it does not run the way it used to. I have been working on it for two years and it still does not run. I think this book will be a big help.!!!!!!

Speed,beauty,and poise on the road! That's what the Chrysler 300 meant to many people. Robert C. Ackerson has written a wonderful history of this beautiful brute. He has combed the files of many folks to create a comprehensive and accurate history of the 300. From its birth to its end,the author kept me involved and feeling like I was behind the wheel. Quite a feat with only pictures and print.This is perhaps the ultimate 300 book with a wealth of photos and detail. The only thing I would have added were some more contempory road tests.If you enjoy cars with class and power, add this book to your collection while it is still available. It deserves all 5 Stars!

This book has beautiful pictures, is a great gift for those who have a passion for classic cars. It is divided in cars from the United States, France, United Kingdom, Germany and Italy, is worth every cent!

For people who are really interested in classic cars, this book has to be THE bargain. The author is someone who really knows cars. I have never seen a book with such a quality at such a low price. (hard cover, glossy paper, superb photographs, etc.)

This is an absolutely beautiful book to look at, and a hymn to the tree-machines that have become the icon of West Coast surfing. Stunning photographs accompanied by marvelous text by Bill Yenne, master of the beautiful-machine genre. If you can find one of these out-of-print beauties, don't think twice. Buy it!

It may be odd to look at photos of 50 years of age showing automotive things, but for me it was fantastic. Being somewhat younger than the author I tried to do the same ten years later in my hometown, Gothenburg in Sweden. The most interesting automobiles was a Talbot-Lago Baby and a Salmson Convertible. These Cars to me seemed to be the last real enthusiasts automobiles. Their carisma of absolute absence of compromise was 100%. Certainly every picture in Mr Straub`s book is worth contemplation before sleeping time.

Coast to Coast by Automobile will intrigue any car buff, pairing vintage black and white photos with historic accounts of pioneering cross-country trips in the 'new' automobile, from 1899-1908. Quotes from journals and source materials pepper these sagas in this fine, involving collection of early auto experiences and insights.
