After hiding in a dusty corner of the archives for a decade while thousands requested its return, Old Cars Weekly has brought back the invaluable Standard Catalog of American Cars 1805-1942! During the summer of 2011, we completely sold out of the reprint, but we heard you and are bringing it back again! The Standard Catalog of American Cars 1805-1942 will be available just in time for the holiday season! (Available in November 2011)
This is the only book with detailed histories behind the 5,000 automobiles built from 1805-1942, most illustrated with period photographs. This extremely desirable resource covers all of the well-known and little-known vehicles built during this period, including steamers, electrics, motor buggies, high wheelers, cyclecars, high-volume production cars and one-offs among its 5,000-plus entries.
From Chevrolet to Packard, from the A Automobile to the Zip, this massive and definitive volume contains in-depth information on every known automobile, from the Oliver Evans' steamer in 1805 to the last car off the production line in the early period of World War II. Whenever available, readers will receive identification data, engine displacement figures, horsepower ratings, chassis specs, body types and production numbers, original factory prices and engine specifications--to name a few. Pictures of each car trace the engineering and styling changes for each model from year to year to make identification a snap.
