Author Description

Presenting the largest car spotter of them all: American Car Spotter's Guide 1966-1980. This giant pictorial reference source is packed with over 3,600 illustrations. Covering a shorter period than other books in the series, when fewer than twenty marques were being produced, it is the great proliferation of sub-makes and models that makes this book so intriguing--over 275 different models are illustrated. Models were introduced to capitalize on the performance car craze and the popularity of personal luxury cars. Other models were conceived to offer economy and ease of maintenance. Some of these cars were created to be the biggest, most sumptuous passenger vehicles on the road. With the enormous selection and plethora of options available it's possible to discover many rare automobiles. In fact, many of the cars illustrated here are now prized collectors' items. Included with the fascinating illustrations is interesting information about original prices, engine sizes, horsepower and other specifications.
