Hottest Muscle Cars
America's love affair with cars is most passionate when it comes to the fastest, most powerful, and coolest-looking models on the nation's roads. Author Bob Woods takes readers through the history of flashy "muscle" cars, such as the Pontiac GTO, Ford Mustang, Chevy Camaro, Dodge Charger, and Chevy Corvette.
* Reviews *
Fortunately, these series titles take a historical slant on the topic, as hottest can slip into a centigrade slump at the clack of a tappet. Written for auto aficionados, the stolid, readable texts present a parade of muscle cars (think 63 Chevy Corvette Sting Ray) and sports cars (a 96 Ferrari F50red, of course!). NASCAR contains less about the cars and more about the milieu of racing itself. In each book, the text is simple but detailed, and the colorful photos are crisp. All have Wild Fact boxes. Not as supercool as gunning down Route 66 in a 66 Dodge Charger, but a fresh tune-up for any aged entries sitting on the shelf., School Library Journal April 2008
