Title: Excellent book on many unusual cars.
Review: I bought this book because my grandfatherâs 1906 Stanley steam car is one of the 100 cars featured. The book includes many interesting cars and is a fascinating read. The selection of cars is not the typical expensive Fararis and Bugattiâs, although there are a few of them. What is really amazing are the unusual one of a kind cars and the stories of the ownerâs devotion to them.
