Enjoy separate chapters for Cadillac, Chevrolet, Buick, Oldsmobile, Pontiac, and GM light trucks each with photographs of virtually every hand built and die-cast model from the period plus historical and technical information, comprehensive lists of models, manufacturers and builders, pricing and sources. Includes models from Motor City USA, Brooklin, Conquest, Mini Marque, Western, Durham, Elegance, Enchantment Land Coachbuilders, M.A.E., Provence Moulage, Record, AMR, and Great American Dream Machines.

5 out of 5 stars Another great one!   April 18, 2008
I thought the Ford book was very well done. But this one's even better! With a cut-off date of 1954,can we expect another one? The photography is EXCELLENT! I hope this series continues! Mopar? Independents? We can only sit back and wait!


5 out of 5 stars Another excellent book from Randall Olson   April 7, 2008
 1 out of 1 found this review helpful

A wonderful reference book, in addition to "Ford in Miniature". While it mainly features "upscale" white-metal hand-built 1:43 scale cars, it also give credit to some inexpensive diecast cars that are done well. This book is also an "education" on how these cars are made...most of them consisting of up to 100 separate parts, taking up to 10 hours to assemble. Print and paper quality is excellent.
