The Art of Mopar: Chrysler, Dodge, and Plymouth Muscle Cars is the ultimate portrayal of history's ultimate muscle cars. This is the ultimate visual history of greatest muscle cars. The history of Chrysler Corporation is, in many ways, a history of a company floundering from one financial crisis to the next. While that has given shareholders fits for nearly a century , it has also motivated the Pentastar company to create some of the most outrageous, and collectible, cars ever built in the United States. From the moment Chrysler unleashed the Firepower hemi V-8 engine on the world for the 1951 model year, they had been cranking out the most powerful engines on the market . Because the company pioneered the use of lightweight unibody technology, it had the stiffest, lightest bodies in which to put those most powerful engines, and that is the basic muscle-car formula: add one powerful engine to one light car . When the muscle car era exploded onto the scene, Chrysler unleashed the mighty Mopar muscle cars , the Dodges and Plymouths that defined the era . Fabled nameplates like Charger , Road Runner , Super Bee , 'Cuda , and Challenger defined the era and rank among the most valuable collector cars ever produced by an American automaker. Review: Excellent coffee table book - This book has stunning photography. Each car is taken as a chapter, with some of its history and other information given (usually 4-6 pages worth). This is a large, hardcover book with the emphasis being on its photography. Many full-page photos, with very few less than half-page photos. The only complaint I have is that all of the cars in the book are the best-of-the-best 1 of 50 built with Hemis and such. So for those of us with "regular" Mopars (especially A-bodies) you aren't going to see much in here. Don't let that detract from an otherwise incredible work of art, though! (For those of you interested the photographer uses a method called "light-painting." It really is an artwork)! In short, you won't be disappointed in this book, despite being a bit pricier. Review: Nice photography of some awesome cars/engines. - Quality bound nice coffee table book if you are a Mopar fan.

One of the best Muscle Mopar books ever
If you want to follow those special Mopar big engine muscle cars from the 60's to now, this is the book. The photography is unbelievable along with the stories and history.

It's worth every cent of the purchase price......and then some.
This is a totally quality piece of work. The vehicles chosen to be featured are pristine, the photography is clearly done by "car guys," it truly is a collection of photos and text from the artistic angle. I owned a 1970 'Cuda 340 and reading through this book brings back fond memories.

Nice gift
Bought this as a gift for a friend who loves cars, especially Dodge, and loves Mopar, and fixes up old Dodge cars with original parts. The book is perfect for him. He loves flipping through it and keeps it on display on his coffee table.

Great Book, every gear head should have one!
I bought this for my new nextdoor neighbors who are old Dodge Muscle Car drivers. It's wonderful photos now grace their coffee table. Which I would have gotten one for myself after i saw it in person.

Als Geschenk
Ich habe dieses Buch letztes Jahr im Dezember zum Geburtstag an meinen Mopar-liebenden und Mopar-besitzenden Freund verschenkt. Er ist was Mopars angeht sehr genau und ich habe gehofft, dass dieses Buch seinen Erwartungen entspricht und was soll ich sagen? Er war begeistert! :) Das Buch enthält schöne Aufnahmen von den Autos, sowohl von Außen, als auch vom Motorraum und Innenraum. Zudem gibt es Infos und Fakten zu den einzelnen Modellen, aber das kann man bei 'Blick ins Buch' schon ganz gut erkennen. Ein schönes Geschenk für den Liebhaber!
