1. This up-to-date guide was compiled and written by the true oil and gas memorabilia expert. 1,000 large, sharp, full color pictures are included for all types of Petroliana, along with current values. Products are listed alphabetically by company, ranging from Ace and Aero to Polarine and Pure Oil to White Rose and Wolf's Head. It includes globes, cans, thermometers, hats, and signs, promotional give-a-ways, and hundreds of other items. If you collect, or are just a fan of these products, you'll find it a joy to add this book to your collection.

1. Comprehensive in reach/scope if not every detail, this book is an essential part of even a tiny research library for those interested in answering the questions of looks or specs on cars from the distant and recent past. Although listing only through 1990 models, more recent are rarely deemed potential collectibles, and so the relevance is largely unscathed by the decade plus since publication.

   Styling and mechanical changes and specs for every model of every listed year (1930-1990) fit all but the most detailed needs. Whether used for perusing alternatives for the first/next purchase, checking production runs to assess rarity or looking at 13 year-old valuations, this book was and still is a gem.




2. If you have ever asked yourself questions like: What did the grille look like on a '50 Ford compared to a '51? or When did they bring our the E-type Jag? or What is a '56 Dodge LaFemme? or What the heck is a 1930 Ruxton?

   If you have any interest in cars of the past, this book is a must-have! It features not just American-made cars but most European makes such as Alfa Romeo, Bugatti, Ferrari, MG, Mercedes, etc. It has pictures of most and details of the model's history, engines, production, and prices in 1992 dollars (that's when the hardcover book was published). The prices are relevant, though, in that you car see how a particular car compared to another at that time.

   I highly recommend this book as a source of automobilia history. Never have I seen a concentration of auto info in one publication. Remember, we'll never see them built like that again!

1 comments about Ford Mustang Buyer's And Restoration Guide.

1. The Mustang represents the difference between cars designed by financial types from those designed by car types. Just before the Mustang the need for smaller cars became clear. McNamara was in charge of Ford and his answer was the Falcon. I don't know of many people who think the Falcon was the high point of Ford's history. Lee Iacocca took the basic Falcon, put new skins on it and the Mustang was born. We are now in another period where the financial types are in charge, and the blah cars and the red ink coming out of Detroit show it. ==It's been forty years since the Mustang came out in 1964, and even the original ones still look great. In fact you might argue that the originals were the best of any of the Mustangs that followed. ==This book spends over half of its pages describing the various Mustangs that were built. The back of the book talks about restoration. But don't expect details on how to restore a car. This part covers things like maintenance and where to get parts. It is fairly general in nature. After all, things like rebuilding an engine would take a whole book by itself.
