Major dissapointment for this automotive jouralism fan...
| Customer Rating: | | I'm 39 years old, and have been an avid reader of all Car & Driver since I was 12 years old. I really looking forward to this book, and ended up being incredibly dissapointed. Instead of seeing a lot of reprints of interesting articles and road tests, the book is filled with editorial columns from the 'archives', and 'novelty' articles: How many times do readers have to see the old "Baja Barnstorm Roadtrip"? I also didn't want to read (nor do I care) about who was executive editor from 196X-197X...I wanted to see old road tests, vehicle comparisons...and even more of the period (old) car advertisements. |
The perfect Christmas gift
| Customer Rating: | | My husband has been subscribing to Car and Driver for many years now. He is a car "freak" and loves anything related to cars and his favorite magazine. This book is a compendium of the best articles published by Car and Driver in the past fifty years. It also reproduces photos and illustrations of the 50s and 60s that look refreshingly modern. This is the perfect present for any car lover. |
