By Richard M. Langworth and The Editors of Consumer Guide

During the years from 1940 through 1970, the American auto industry produced some of the most exciting, unusual, memorable cars in history. These are the cars sought today—by those who grew up with them and those too young to remember them first-hand. Whether we owned one, or merely dreamed of owning one, the cars from this significant 30-year period became an intimate part of our daily lives. Today, among enthusiasts and non-enthusiasts alike,1940-70 cars command more interest than those built in all other years. In recognition of this phenom-enon, noted automotive historian Richard M. Langworth and The Editors of CONSUMER GUIDE® magazine have compiled the Encyclopedia of American Cars, 1940-1970. This one complete volume offers a clear, concise, and factual account of some 36 major nameplates, plus brief descriptions of over 200 fascin-ating minor makes. Never has so much research been compiled to bring you the full story of the engineers, stylists, and execu-tives who shaped these cars. You'll learn why the cars turned out like they did, and how they did on'the market. The book is divided into two parts—"Major Makes" and "Minor Makes." Each entry in the "Major Makes" section includes valuable reference tables showing every series, every body style, and every engine offered, along with weights, prices, and model year production figures. A year-by-year list of total model year pro-duction and industry rankings is also provided. This material, much of it not easily found elsewhere, makes for a comprehensive reference work ideal for the experienced car collector and hobbyist.
