OT Excellent Picture Book Recommendation

[Charlie Olson]

Hi, After breaking a bone in my left arm, the radial head, I was having physical therapy to prevent the left elbow joint from becoming locked. I started reading the waiting room copy of Cars of the Fifites, which I really enjoyed, seeing all of the great pictures and write ups about so many cars, for each year of the 50's decade. Well, I went online to see if the same author and sponsor of the 50's book had printed a 40's book and it turns out they did. The book is CARS OF THE FASCINATING '40S, by the auto editors of Consumer Guide, copyright 2002. I found a very good condition copy on Amazon, for which I paid $15 and the book is as good as new. Just before I placed this thread, I looked on Amazon to see if there are more copies available and there are. New copies range $40 - $377 and used copies range $10 - $102. Along with the Chevys and Fords, there are just a boat load of MoPars, Hudsons, Nashes, etc. This is a wonderful hard bound auto historical picture book and just packed with photos and descriptions, history, etc. My copy is 320 pages of wonderful car stuff from the Fascinating '40s. I give this book five stars out of five stars. No thanks required, just more of my modest, wonderful service to mankind.
