Editorial Reviews

Product Description: A detailed tribute to the hottest performers of the musclecar era! Chrysler's B-bodies and their huge engines and mid-size bodies made pony cars like the Mustang seem small in comparison. This volume traces the B-body's history from its Dodge Coronet/Plymouth Belvedere roots, through the 1968-1971 glory years, to its last gasp in the late 1970s. Includes engineering background, technical specs, and model details, plus interviews with Chrysler designers and engineers.

Dry but interesting

Interesting for someone just getting into this subject, it's more of a recitation of model-year features than an in-depth examination. Prose is a little dry, it livens up when Herd talks to actual designers or drivers.
Not bad, and at a good price.

More of a coffe table book than a reference guide, this book touches on all versions of the cars including the Volare and Magnum variants. Dozens of beautiful pictures and original ad copy capture a time when horsepower meant everything. For some reason the author must have insisted every car photographed be red, I would have liked to see some of the other colors offered. A worthwhile addition nonetheless.
