A perfect time capsule for lovers of cars and advertising...: Reviewer: K. Brungraber (Bucks County, PA USA), Date of review: May 26, 2009; Avg. Customer Rating: 5 Stars; If any industry can be defined as one that creates needs in order to be the first to fulfill or respond to the manufactured desire, it is the U.S. auto industry.

Thank goodness, then, that the editors of Consumer's Guide recognize this and allow us to view these cars through the eyes of the marketers, advertisers, and artists. These brochure illustrations and ads show us the cars as the world first saw them.

There is no skimping on detail, however, and the reading is enjoyable enough that I have ordered a copy of CG's American Cars of the 1960's. I wish there were more, but I suppose those two decades are the best for diverse car styling combined with an explosion of brilliant advertising.

Exactly As Advertised: Reviewer: B. Rusk (Richardson, TX USA), Date of review: November 02, 2008; Avg. Customer Rating: 5 Stars; 1 of 1 people found the following review helpful:; The "American Cars of the 1950's" book I ordered was delivered on time and in exactly the same condition as advertised.

My nephew loved this: Reviewer: Nicole S. Urdang (Western New York), Date of review: September 24, 2008; Avg. Customer Rating: 5 Stars; 1 of 1 people found the following review helpful:; I can't stress how much I value the reviews on Amazon, which is why I write them. Here's a case in point: I wanted to send my 14 year old nephew something fun while he was away this Summer, and I knew he loved cars. By relying on the reviews, I chose this book and he loved it.
I may not always agree with other reviewers, but their insights and opinions help me make better choices. What really amazes me is that Amazon will print the negative ones.

Beautiful Little Book: Reviewer: Rob Keil (San Francisco), Date of review: September 20, 2008; Avg. Customer Rating: 5 Stars; Lots of great vintage art from ads and brochures. Well designed, easy to navigate. It's a beautiful little book but i just wish it were larger since it is only about 5 inches tall.
