Classic American Cars

This is like a wish book; I wish my car looked as nice as these restored beauties. All of the displayed cars are show quality and perfect serving as a good model for your own personal ambitions or visions for your vintage car. This book serves as a very useful resource if you have one of these classic American cars because it features many details about your particular model. Most people assume that if you have one these classic cars that it would be a Bel Air but the models vary and only the person in the know can distinguish the features that make one model different from another. Considering that there are not that many pages in this book it packs a wallop with information.When these 3,000 lb. steel road beasts roamed the hiways you could buy one NEW for under $2,000 fully loaded! Included are production details, the history behind the models, including pictures of never mass produced protypes, the color schemes, engine availability, information on options, complete specifications, you name it, this book pretty much covers it all. I found this book to be very helpful for determining facts about my particular 56 Chevy which is a 210 Sport Sedan(I get nice Bel Air all the time) that incidently had a limited production of only 16, 000 cars. it als ohelped to see what things my model was missing.This book is very useful for the hobbist, car enthusiast or anyone who loves the classic Chevy years 1956-1957. If you can find this particular book it is worth it , besides, it has the credibility of the editors from Consumer Reports.
