Since I own an unrestored/original car (that has been in our family for 43 years) I could easily relate to the passion that Richard Lentinello has for this unique class of automobile. Richard captures, in many respects, the true love and passion for these “time capsules” with not only excellent photography, but a wonderful selection of classic, muscle and foreign cars and their fascinating history. Highly recommended for those who enjoy looking back in time at this unique class of automotive treasures.
Rating: 5 / 5

If you’re looking for exciting stories of original exotics – Jaguars, Bgugattis, Ferraris – forget this book. If you want to see minimal write-ups on run-of-the-mill American stuff, of which there is plenty out there, then go ahead and spend the money. Not something I would recommend for anyone who has a taste for anything not pure American.
