I am actively growing my automotive book collection. I hope one day, when I grow up, I can display an extensive array in a big, fancy office.

One I am adding to my book collection is The All-American Muscle Car:Â The Birth, Death and Resurrection of Detroit’s Greatest Performance Cars. Seeing how the Motor City is home, I can’t wait to get this one, especially since it touches on so many topics related to the classics. For example, it’s no secret horsepower and Detroit’s muscle cars go together like Oreos and milk but what about the business side" Oh yes, The Big Three had successful marketing strategies driving their creations just as much as what was under the hood.
Cultural Following
The All-American Muscle Car follows the memories yesteryear with tremendous photos and commentary from respected automotive thinkers. The cultural trends behind muscle cars are examined, from their roles in music and television, to their standing on the race track. Some of the best battles are recounted...
