1. Book has over 300 photographs of old car wrecks, and every photo has a small descriptive caption. There are a few pictures of old tow trucks, police cars, ambulances, etc. Great book for the bathroom.

5 comments about Harley-Davidson Panheads.

1. The most comprehensive book written on the 1948-1965 Panhead, this book is as good as his Knucklehead book. Contains an Equipment Group of Big Twin Options at the back, so you know the correct trim pieces offered each year. The author has put the Panhead motorcycle into prospective with a little history; and compared them to other great big twins of the era, the Vincent Rapides and Black Shadows (instead of comparing Harley vs. Indian). Reading the sidebars throughout this book finds coincidence of advances made with new models on both sides of the pond. The author is exacting when discussing any design improvements made to the Big Twins, and covers the changes to the Panhead year by year. The subliminal value of a Greg Field book would be that he's a technical writer and a story teller.



2. Greg Feld has produced a superb book here that mixes accurate detail on the Pan with wonderful period anecdotes and superb photos. Greg even manages to dig up archive information on mid-year changes and the rare P model.

   No book writer can ever hope to cover every detail of a models history, but this guy comes real close !!

   To the sad bloke that mis-read Gregs info on years, and slates this superb book (further down the list of reviews). - '65 model year Pans were produced in 1964, and followed into '65, yet ALL '65 model year bikes were stamped 65. '66 Shovels started production in '65 and yet were stamped 66. If this practice wasn't followed, then how else would HD have '66 Shovels ready for dealers to sell in late 65/early 66 ?




3. After purchasing this book, I find it to be an excellent reference for restoring a panhead. Not as detailed as How To Restore Your HD, but good. Any book that gets down to the type of screws and the finish is fairly complete.



4. This book does indeed cover '65 Pans. A quick check of the index sends you to the pages containing 1965 Pans complete with terrific color photos. Never judge a book by its "short discription"!



5. I had read a short discription of the book stating that Panheads were produced until 1964 according to the author. My good friend, Bob Pickersgill rides a 1965(!) Panhead every day in the summer. Field should get his facts together BEFORE publishing a book.

2 comments about Pickups: Classic American Trucks.

1. This book shows classic pickup bodies, some with modern engines, very clearly. The photos are exceptionally vivid in color. The chosen trucks are highly interesting, and the settings for the photographs very well chosen.

   I was not even aware it was possible to produce a book with level of clarity in the photographs. As a photographer myself, I was left wondering precisely how the photographs were done. i.e. Shutter speed, fstop, film type, filters, camera, lens and lighting. While the subject of the book, trucks, is not photography, the pictures, none the less, could serve as models of vehicle photography. Even a single paragraph on the topic would be appreciated by this reviewer. In a lucky world, perhaps the author or someone else familiar with the production techniques will further comment.

   My three year old son loves trucks, and this book has been a nice vehicle to help us share some time together.




2. If you like pickups from the beginning up until the 1950's, this is for you. Excellent photography, highlights some models not usually done (Diamond T, Hudson, Reo). Good home-grown stories about each one (where it came from, what the owner is like, et al) makes this book one of my favorites.
