Summary: Far from "Ultimate"
Comment: Glastonbury's book is a curious collection of "musclecars" that somehow includes several pages dedicated to Ford's Super Duty truck lineup, including full-page photographs of F-350 Super Duty and F-750 Super Duty XL trucks. Far too much space was given to cars like the Studebaker Starlight Coupe, Mercury Montclair and Mercury Voyager Station Wagon (and a ratty, primered example at that) while GMC's Syclone is barely mentioned and the Typhoon isn't mentioned at all. '91 Buick Skylark GS coupes and '95 4-door Skylark sedans somehow warrant photos, yet the Grand National and legendary GNX are omitted and barely mentioned in the text. Many photo captions provide little or no information, including "The 2003 Z28, returned to its racing roots" and "A Mach 1 from 1969 or '70." How can you publish a photo of a car and not know that it was discontinued after 2002 or include a car that you can't identify beyond a guess? Excluding photos supplied by the manufacturers, photography in this book ranges from bad to terrible. Many of the pictures are redundat, shot in poor locations, with bad lighting and no apparent knowledge of the technology that exists with polarizers. I'm sure the car owners are flattered to be included until someone points out that the photographer obscured their front bumper with his shadow or made it appear as if a Blockbuster Video sign was sticking out of their roof and a light pole was sticking out of their trunk. The book was printed in China and the binding started to split after the first read.
