Reviews

"[This volume] draws in readers through its 12 engaging chapter titles, suggesting a crescendo, a climax, and an inevitable decline: first 'Genesis—The Genealogy of the American Muscle Car,' then 'Rolling Thunder—Pontiac Dominates and Detroit Responds,' and finally 'Swan Song—the Last Stand of the American Muscle Car.'...Details abound, and all muscle car manufacturers are represented.... numerous images capturing full-size cars and minutiae of badging or decals. A 16-page color plates insert captures many of the cars at their best...this volume can be opened to any page and enjoyed—perhaps by both grandparents and grandchildren...recommended""—Choice"
