"Welcome to the pre-downsizing world of some seriously big motor cars, all packed into a concise volume of just under 100 pages." ߝ Classic Cars
"Great ads and brochure reprints made us want a '587 Packard Clipper wagon ߝ 'A new ages of functional elegance arrives!' ߝ and it's fascinating to see the change in ad styles over the decades. Inexpensive too." ߝ Octane
"These quirky little softbacks are something of a pocket-sized breath of fresh air." ߝ American Car
"With some potted history of each decade's developments and lengthy detailed captions, this is a treasure trove of mostly contemporary photos of wagons and woodies, plus reproductions of some wonderful brochure material. There's a lot to enjoy." ߝ NZ Classic Car
