AMERICAN SUPERCAR
DEVELOPMENT OF THE DETROIT HIGH-PERFORMANCE CAR
American Supercar, published in 1990, shows the development of American high-performance cars from the 1913 Mercer Raceabout to the latest Detroit offerings.
The author, Roger Huntington, goes beneath the shiny sheet metal to tell you what made supercars go fast. Describes how rule changes in drag, stock-car and sports-car racing resulted in such unique cars as the Plymouth Superbird and Ford Thunderbolt.
Relive those exciting days of supercharged Duesenbergs, flathead Fords, fuel-injected Chevys, Chrysler 300s, Pontiac GTOs, Shelby Cobras, Plymouth Road Runners and more.
American Supercar - Development of the Detroit High-Performance Car is packed with hundreds of exciting photos and dozens of road-test tables.
