Anglo-American Cars (PB) - Description
Anglo-American Cars, is the first book dedicated solely to
these unique hybrids bearing both American and British engineering, made for
those who lust to drive something different.
This book, part of the Those Were the Days series, covers British cars powered
by American engines and American cars fitted with British power plants, all
built from the 1930s to 1970s.
Many of the American-powered British makes offered for sale
were often built with everything from trials and rallies to road racing in
mind. For enthusiasts, the American V8 in a British chassis provided fast,
reliable touring at a fraction of the cost. In contrast, the American cars
fitted with British power plants were often designed with economy in mind.
Brochures, period literature, road test info of the day, factory press kits and
over sixty colour photos of restored examples provide detailed shots of the
engines and styling that set these Anglo-American cars apart. Decade by decade
information allows for direct comparison.
