Not good
Ihad bought a few books by Kowalke (Standard Catalogs), there are Ok, but this one has no chronological or label order.

Great !An excellent tribute to the American Station Wagon
Great !An excellent publication that pays tribute to an American icon - the Station Wagon -- from a positive/historical perspective.Americana at its best ! True reflection of the station wagon's legacy
Mr. Kowalke has captured the true feelings that most of us (baby boomers) have of these cars! The book is a fine tribute to a lost time in history that the minivan can never hope to achieve. ... Read more

One of the Best Info About Chevrolet Cars
This book has most information about Chevrolets I have ever seen. I really like Chevrolets, but could never find all of the info I needed for them. If models are look exactly alike, the book doesn't skip them. It talks aboutALL models for that year. With black and white pictures of every one. Ifyour after Chevrolets this is a very good book. I'm going to get the otherStandard Catalog American Car books with Buicks, Cadillacs, Chrysler, etc.This is an excellent book!

The most compreshive collection of Chevrolet production data
I currently need to research production data for my websiteand club members, this book contains vast collections of Chevrolet production data not available in any other place. The book is laid out great and is easy to use. ... Read more

Nostalgia Trip
I was impressed by Muscle Car Mania and Son of Muscle Car Mania but Mitch came up trumps this time as we benefit from colour print - the best way to see the psycadelic Plymouth ads of the 60's. If you like muscle cars buy this book. ... Read more

California Look VW
I think Jay Tucker Jr is an a-hole who has no idea about why people modify and drive VWs. Perhaps he should stick to Hondas...

Flashy Pictures, bland writing.
As a coffee table book of flashy pictures of Volkswagens done up in the classic "California Look," this will fit the bill with recent and period photos of the style; the features of which repeated until you expect a quiz from the author.Seume, who has a fixation on these particular period vehicles bordering on the, shall we say, unhealthy, writes as though he is the only one that can possibly appreciate what was basically a short customizing "craze" in late 60's Orange County California.Like many males with automotive fixations, the creators of this style sought to gain individuality through customizing their cars in a nearly identical manner.As with many things weirdly American, Seume notes with pride how this particularly narrow and short-lived styling look has recently gained a near fanatical following internationally, with Finns, Germans, Japanese, and other young men looking to belong and now affording what was basically meant to be an extremely cheap, throw-away automobile taking this style to near-worship in car clubs that approach the rivalry of street gangs.In Europe, the "Cal Look" as it is known in the States, is refered to as "Old School," with current auto part manufacturers mass-reproducing copies of the styling pieces for instant consumption at outrageous prices.Seume loses himself in his writing that borders on the fetishistic, and if a reader actually manages to read the all the copy written by the author, they were truly bored indeed.The photos of the modern examples done up in the style are gourgeous, but in reality toys, never to be driven on the street or seen outside a garage.One begins to wonder about someone who spends $30 to $40,000 on restoration and obscure period customizing pieces for a car that originally sold for $1995.If you like beautiful and period photos of old custom Volkswagens, this book is for you.The publisher could have left out the text written by Seume and no one would have ever noticed.

a summary of a fantastic area of volkswagen modification
If you are one of those people that prefers to see a vw with a set of nicewheels and some nice trick bits, then this is the book for you. It capturesthe essence of the california look perfectly and could quite easilytransform a hardcore vintage enthusiast into a cal look lover. It featuresseveral very well written sections covering different areas of influence onthe scene. One covers the originators of the look, one the major companiesinvolved with it, and another on the clubs that helped form the scene.Keith Seume has also managed to include a large amount of rare photos ofearly development taking place, right through to photos of clubs stillalive from the heyday of the california look. Once you get this book youwill be forever converted to that slammed, agro look of the cal lookers. ... Read more
