Reviews:
Past praise for Classic Car:
"[T]his is a book to savor, to be pored over time and again." - Booklist, starred review
Past praise for Car:
"Definitive' is an ambitious goal, but one this hefty book tackles with élan-perhaps the way a 1965 Gordon-Keeble might tackle a winding country road." - The New York Times
