Customer Reviews

Great colour pictures with notes in point form.

This book is arranged with one chapter per year from 1960 through to 1969. For each year, each of the major American car brands is profiled with pictures of the models that they were producing and the updates and innovations that were notable. Along with this are many insights and observations in easy to read point form. The book contains thousands of pictures (mostly in colour) of cars, car ads, and anything else related to cars. Simply brilliant to flick through because so many great cars are listed and pictured. If you love the cars of this area then you will love this great book. There are many book that go into detail about specific makes models and years, but this one covers an entire decade of the US auto industry in a way that allows you to look at one manufacturers cars alongside another's to get the overall historical picture. This is a very well presented book and now I'm keen to get the similar ones for the 70s and 50s. Overall, very good value for money.

A Breezy Ride

Buy this book for the great pictures, appreciate it for the snappy trivia. Lots of cool color images and rare factory stuff. A car-lover must have.

Great Book in an Excellent Series

Both the Cars of the Sizzling 60s and Cars of the Fabulous 50s are excellent value, and very unique finds.

Great Book !

The photos and history in this book were great. I liked how the book was set up by years. This book brought back many fond memories of cars I owned. If you like cars of the 60's, this is the book.

A Great Survey of 60's Cars

Excellent photographic survey of 60's cars...page after page of car pictures, focusing on US makes, provides for an interesting history of the decade.
