MY THOUGHTS -
What a great, fun book to look at (and read). There are over 30 cars listed here , each in separate chapters. There are great descriptions - history of the car (previous owners etc.), where and when it was found, what condition it was in, how much it might be worth and lots more.

There are tons of great full color photos! I could look at this 100 times and not get tired of looking at these great old cars. There are pictures of the cars when it was found (even at different angles), interior pics, engine pics, and close-ups.

They did not skimp on making this book. It is really beautifully done! This was kinda like American Pickers, but with all cars.
Now I am no mastermind of old cars! But I enjoyed this book very much. It has tons of information and I am sure I can learns lots from it. A person who is really into cars would love this!

Thanks to Librarything Early Reviewers for sending me this book for my honest review.
