Detroit Cars

This is a great informative book. It is thick and heavy but that is because it is packed with so much information. The book is clearly written with technical info that is easy to understand even if you are not a "gear head". The book is composed according to where cars were during certain years. The first chapter starts with the birth of an industry which talks of mass production and the impact on the American public. Then each decade is explored with the new features of each auto during the related years therein. Social changes are also included so you aren't just reading about cars in a vacuum. This is a great reference book for any auto enthusiast
