YA-What could be more American than a 1957 Chevrolet Bel Air? Along with hula hoops, drive-in movies and rock 'n' roll, it's become a '50s icon. The Bel Air is just one of 60 cars featured here. Take the wheel of a Mustang, cruise around in a Lincoln convertible, or roll down a country road in a '69 Vette. This book justifiably treats each engineering masterpiece as a work of art, paying homage with full-color photographs on thick glossy paper. Automotive aficionados will appreciate the historical, technical, and design trivia presented for each car. Young adults who like old cars or are in the process of getting their first wheels will get thoroughly revved up over this book.Copyright 1998 Reed Business Information, Inc.
