America's Most Powerful Car

Speed,beauty,and poise on the road! That's what the Chrysler 300 meant to many people. Robert C. Ackerson has written a wonderful history of this beautiful brute. He has combed the files of many folks to create a comprehensive and accurate history of the 300. From its birth to its end,the author kept me involved and feeling like I was behind the wheel. Quite a feat with only pictures and print.This is perhaps the ultimate 300 book with a wealth of photos and detail. The only thing I would have added were some more contempory road tests.If you enjoy cars with class and power, add this book to your collection while it is still available. It deserves all 5 Stars!
