Synopsis
The 1973 oil crisis forced the American automotive industry into a period of dramatic change, marked by stiff foreign competition, tougher product regulations and suddenly altered consumer demand. With gas prices soaring and the economy in a veritable tailspin, muscle cars and the massive "need-for-speed" engines of the late '60s were out, and fuel efficient compacts were in. By 1980, American manufacturers were churning out some of the most feature laden, yet smallest and most fuel efficient cars they had ever built. This exhaustive reference work details every model from each of the major American manufacturers from model years 1973 through 1980, including various "captive imports" (e.g. Dodge's Colt, built by Mitsubishi.) Within each model year, it reports on each manufacturer's significant news and details every model offered: its specifications, powertrain offerings, prices, standard features, major options, and production figures, among other facts. The work is heavily illustrated with approximately 1,300 photographs., Detailing every model from each of the major American manufacturers from model years 1973 to 1980, this reference book provides details such as each model's specifications, powertrain offerings, price, standard features, major options, and production figures.

(A used and flawed but beautiful signed book). This was a d--n good value for the money. The seller was honest about the authenticity of the signature and the edition, the item arrived swiftly and was well packaged. I have no complaints and would buy from this person again. I'm delighted to own this. Thank you!
