InformativeYes. AccurateNo. Kristina Kantar Goldman When one purchases a "Standard Guide", one would expect a thorough and accurate accounting of the subject.

Standard Guide to American Muscle Cars Pretty good book in that it covers a lot of muscle cars and a long time span. I like the way the book uses many original ads and it is fairly complete in its coverage. I would like to see better pictures and more proofreading. I noticed that some of the information about certain cars is incorrect or transposed. It also appears that some of the picture captions are not associated with the proper picture.. Standard Guide to American Muscle Cars Overall a very informative book on muscle cars from the '60's to the '90's. It's an excellent start for us younger people to learn about the older muscle cars that we didn't get to see as we were growing up. This book covers most of the significant muscle cars that have come out of America from the years 1960-1995. If you are interested in buying a muscle car but aren't exactly sure what car you want to get, this book will help you narrow down your choices.
