The American Car Spotter's Bible.It's purpose is to help you identify a car, therefore it is full of pictures for you to look at. It is not intended to provide history on these cars (which it does a little bit anyway).I had one of the original black and white copies of this book but I had given it away so I started looking for a replacement. This book was not yet back in print at the time. Used book dealers on the web were asking upwards of $100 for those originals because so many people still wanted them. Luckily this color edition came out in the nick of time and I picked it up right away.Just what I wanted!
