This full-color history chronicles Pontiac's Firebird and Trans Am from 1967 to today. The Firebird hit the market as a response to the Ford Mustang and Mercury Cougar. Firebirds became an extremely popular car, but then the Trans Am came along offering more horsepower, more performance, a better package, and a "bad" look. For more than 30 years, both models headed Pontiac's performance list; they still attract a lot of attention. Enthusiast Color Series.

"American Muscle Cars" is a comprehensive pictorial history of that bygone era when the roads were ruled by big-block classics like the Chevy Chevelle, Ford Mach 1, Pontiac GTO, and Plymouth Duster. Almost 20 years after the last of Detroit's vintage muscle cars rolled of the assembly line, this illustrated volume serves as a nostalgic tribute to these symbols of 1960s and 1970s youth. Holder and Kunz leave no original material out of this paperback edition - they cover the entire spectrum of muscle car models produced by GM, Ford, Chrysler, and American Motors. Engaging descriptions and a wealth of photographs (including 16 pages in full colour) recapture the glory days of the Chevy Camaro, Pontiac Grand Prix, Dodge Charger, Ford Galaxy, and many more. The authors also feature several factory production models, including drag cars, Trans-Am racers, and Indy pace cars. Every car shown actually exists - still loved, cared for, and driven by its proud owner - depicting the very best in muscle car mania.

"The hot rod muscle cars of boat racing—hydroplanes powered by V-8 engines from Chevy, Chrysler, Ford, BMW, and Alfa-Romeo—are explained in detail in this book. Providing information on hull development, powertrain technology, drivers, safety measures, racecourse design, and the growing hobby of restoring vintage hydroplanes, this fully illustrated volume explores these specialized boats that skim atop the water balanced delicately on the propeller and three small parts of the hull. Included in the appendix is a list of postwar racing record holders, along with the names of their boats and the types of engine used. This examination of sleek, brightly painted hydroplanes appeals to the casual and dedicated enthusiast, boat racing fans, hot-rodders, and vintage boat hobbyists."
