"American Muscle Cars" is a comprehensive pictorial history of that bygone era when the roads were ruled by big-block classics like the Chevy Chevelle, Ford Mach 1, Pontiac GTO, and Plymouth Duster. Almost 20 years after the last of Detroit"s vintage muscle cars rolled of the assembly line, this illustrated volume serves as a nostalgic tribute to these symbols of 1960s and 1970s youth. Holder and Kunz leave no original material out of this paperback edition - they cover the entire spectrum of muscle car models produced by GM, Ford, Chrysler, and American Motors. Engaging descriptions and a wealth of photographs (including 16 pages in full colour) recapture the glory days of the Chevy Camaro, Pontiac Grand Prix, Dodge Charger, Ford Galaxy, and many more. The authors also feature several factory production models, including drag cars, Trans-Am racers, and Indy pace cars. Every car shown actually exists - still loved, cared for, and driven by its proud owner - depicting the very best in muscle car mania.
