Book excerpt: The most popular of all of Crestline's many automotive titles, 75 Years of Chevrolet is actually a total rewrite of the former 60 Years of Chevrolet. The latter book, which came out in 1972, became not only Crestline's all-time best seller, but one of the best selling automotive history books ever published on a single make of car. Set in chronological sequence, the book consists of 75 chapters (one for each year) spread over 536 pages & containing 2,680 photos of virtually every model passenger car ever made by Chevrolet. Also included are numerous illustrations & references to the multitude of trucks turned out by Chevrolet, as well as samplings of professional cars; race cars; custom bodies, & experimental vehicles. Such Chevrolet sub-makes as Corvetts, Camero, Corvair, Nova & others are detailed, as are their engine & chassis specifications, list prices, weights, & production figures on a per-body-style basis. The author is George H. Dammann, general manager of Crestline Publishing Co. A professional writer since 1954, he is the author of eight full-length hard cover books on automotive histories, & has edited or co-authored over 30 other titles on both automotive & agricultural history.
