Soooo nostalgic: Reviewer: Lawrence Ruiz , Date of review: June 03, 2009; Avg. Customer Rating: 5 Stars; Great cars. Great pictures. Great artwork. Say, I recognize Bob's Big Boy restaurant on the cover. Is that Casa de Carlos Mexican Restaurant on Ventura Blvd. in Woodland Hills? They're great, too!

Thanks for the wonderful book.

Cruisin' is time trip back to yesterday's two-lane strip!: Reviewer: Peter Fanth (Fort Worth, Texas), Date of review: May 26, 2000; Avg. Customer Rating: 5 Stars; 4 of 5 people found the following review helpful:; If remember the days when you used to hang out at the drive-in and spend most of your free time at the wheel of your convertible (and some nights in the back seat), Cruisin' is definitely the book for you. This book has it all--it's a real flashback to a time that had no equal, an era of cars and freedom that will never be again. The Bash images and Witzel photos are way cool and really send you back in time. Whether it's hot rods, muscle cars, and the many places and pastimes we indulged ourselves with, this book is the definitive scrapbook of America's car culture heyday! If you love cars and enjoy the trip more than the place you are goin' to, you 'gotta get this book!
