Support your local demo derby.

Over the course of the years I've added onto my car picture books. My focus is primarily on American iron and this is most of the ones I own. Also have half a dozen ones dealing with tractors which I'll post in the Back 40. The Cars of the 40s-70s offer decent overviews of each domestic make plus a host of selected imports sold here. Consumer Guide had a hand in most of those. They also did a nice job on the Ford trucks and 100 anniversary of Ford as well. It seems I've yet to run across an all encompassing overview for Mopars/Chryslers. Hoping at some point Consumer Guide also decides to do Car of the 80s and 90s as well. The International Truck book from Fred Crimson is the holy grail for all binder trucks with detailed summaries of each model year and virtually every truck style they ever made.

Sadly I don't though I see some are quite $ if you're buying them online nowadays.

:toy: I picked up most of mine back in the '80's from Classic Motorbooks. They were having a very good sale on them and I got a bit carried away but am glad I did as prices for them now are out of this world. My only regret is I never got the Studebaker book.
