Great Book for Sports Car Enthusiasts

Bill Reynolds' photography is stunning in this book. A variety of high performance cars is reviewed in relation to the time period they were produced, starting in 1945 and ending in 1996. Brief, yet detailed, descriptions cover many topics including a range from technical specifications to notable style designs on each car. If you enjoy viewing beautiful cars or want to know what the engines can do, you should enjoy this book. Another interesting point to the book is the comparison between the European market and the United States market for sports cars. I highly recommend this book for your personal collection or as a gift.

One of the best classic cars book I've ever read!

It's just great the way the author divide the sport car history in cicles. I also like the same marques: Ferrari, Porshe... The pictures are beautiful!
