Customer Reviews
- I want a Sequel

- This is a great book with good color pictures, and in depth description of each engine. I agree with the previous reviewer the Duesenberg J&SJ engines and the Marmon V16 deserve to be in there too, along with many great other engines. I only hope the author is considering a sequel, as there are more than enough engines that deserve coverage.

- While a good book in general, there are serious omissions that should have been caught by the editor.
While the Model A and X Duesenbergs were well described, the much more dramatic J and SJ have no photos of these engines. Why? If there ever was a spectacular American engine these were certainly it.
Photos are all over the place for both of them and easily obtained, from the ACD Museum for one source.
Leaving out the Marmon V-16 is a bad omission.
Poor decisions by either the author or the editor.
