Whenever I see a product with Bruce’s name and Dover press, I automatically know that I will enjoy it, and this is no exception. This book includes other works by Bruce: “Cars of the Fifties,” “American Muscle Cars” and “Luxury Cars.”
As I stated in another review, I often find myself in situations where I am waiting on my companion as she shops, conducts business or visits. So in those times of waiting, I pull out my trusty lap desk, my colored pencils and an adult coloring book — this time, Bruce La Fontaine’s “Classic Cars.”
The pictures are meticulously rendered. They all include backgrounds and some include people as well. So you better have some flesh color, sienna, ocre, umber and many shades of green amoungst your colors. Bruce includes enough detail to keep a conscientious coloring maven busy for hours. It takes me about two hours to color a page. I especially enjoy the stonework and plants.
I use Crayola and Rose Art pencils and have recently addded some Prangs, Loews and Faber Castels to my pencil inventory. I have tried Prismacolor, but they tend to be too soft for me.
If you are an adult into coloring and you enjoy meticulous detail, this is a coloring book you will enjoy.

This big coloring book included cars that have been featured in other coloring books by Mr. La Fontaine, which I had colored previously, but that was no deterent to my enjoyment of this excellently illustrated book.
I highly recommend this to anyone who appreciates cars and enjoys coloring.
There are small details on each car, so this would probably be too difficult for a child. This is an adult coloring book.
