The encyclopedia of classic cars from 1890 to the present day.
Cheetham, an automotive journalist currently working for the UK division of General Motors, has assembled this handsome and thorough encyclopedia of over 1,000 distinct classic cars that have somehow changed or influenced the automotive landscape. From the 1890 Panhard et Levassor to modern machines such as the Ford GT, Bugatti Veyron and the Bentley Continental GT, Cheetham and two assistant editors have compiled mountains of data on each vehicle, and explain how that product influenced the industry. Not every entry has an accompanying photograph, and listing the original retail price of each vehicle would be an appreciated enhancement, but this oversize (9.25x12.25 inches) reference will keep most automotive enthusiasts occupied for days.
