From the Abbott to the Zimmerman, this 222-page, 8-by-11 format Encyclopedia contains a wealth of hard-to-find information and photos [black-and-white, except for 21 color plates listed below] for over 1600 makes of automobiles sold in North America from the eighteen-nineties to the date of publication [1971]. The book's Glossary includes definitions of arcane terms such as "ALAM formula rating" and "trembler coil ignition", and a comprehensive index helps to make this Encyclopedia an invaluable reference to the historian, collector, or enthusiast.The subjects of the gorgeous color plates, whether full-page (F), half-page (H), or two-page (2):- 1902 Rambler (F)- 1904 Cadillac (F)- 1909 Lozier (H)- 1913 Mercer (H)- 1914 Stutz (F)- 1914 Locomobile (H)- 1922 Pierce Arrow (H)- 1920 Detroit Electric (F)- 1922 Wills Sainte Claire (H)- 1928 Kissel (H)- 1909 Ford (2)- 1927 Packard (F)- 1929 Duesenberg (H)- 1935 Auburn (H)- 1937 Cord (H)- 1941 Lincoln (H)- 1948 Tucker (H)- 1960 Chevrolet Corvair (H)- 1967 Shelby Cobra (F)- 1968 Auburn (F)- 1971 American Motors Gremlin (F)
