nice pictures but incomplete and unbalanced history,

This review is from: Chrysler (Hardcover)
Incomplete and unbalanced history of the Chrysler Corporation. Not a word on many important pioneering developments (power steering, hemi V8, all-steel station wagon with folding seat, etc). Nice pictures but a very disappointing book.

A well done and concise history of the Chrysler Corporation.,
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Chrysler (Hardcover)
If you're looking to give a history buff or general car enthusiast an interesting and detailed, but concise, book on the history of the Chrysler Corporation, this one is a good choice. Dennis Adler does an excellent job in describing the impact that Chrysler, and its divisions, have had on the world from the company's founding in 1926 to its merger with Mercedes Benz that led to the creation of Daimler Chrysler. He acieves this by describing each era important to the company's history through eloquent written word and superb photographs. Anyone who is a fan of Chrysler or simply likes cars in general would really appreciate this book. If, however, one were looking for a book with more specific detail into the company's history, it would be hard to do so in anything less than a full-length novel. Furthermore, if it is an individual vehicle from Chrysler that one is into, then this probably isn't the right book, especially if that person is looking for detailed technical information on specific vehicles. This is a book of history, not a technical manual that you would find at Pep Boys.

A Coffee Table Book,
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Chrysler (Hardcover)
This is a nice coffee table book but short on content if you are looking for any real information on the history of Chrysler and the related marques.You can't cover all that history in a large print book with a few color photos. I was looking for production numbers, VIN codes, engine information. Almost none of that here. If you are buying a gift for a Chrysler, Dodge, Plymouth or DeSoto fan, this is not the book. They will already know more than you find here. If you want a few excellent photos and not much content, this is your book. |
