I only have one complaint with the book, it's small size. Wish it was A3 format, otherwise it is a very informative and great book covering rods through the decades after the war.
Rods photographed in their own era, a boon for rodders trying to build a car true to a particular style or simply looking for a decade to build. Many of the cars photographed recently show that a well engineered and built rod can stand the test of time.
Recommended to the true rod enthusiast especially if you want to view more than just cool cars.
