Customer comments on this selection.
 Nothing new here
Sigh... I love old cadillacs and was looking for some useful information. There is nothing new here. Book is a reprint of old factory sales brochure and advertisement illustrations, which are available for free on the internet already. The prose is no better, just a copy and paste of what's in the brochures. Reprinting the brochures verbatim would have kept the context at least and made this book more interesting... there is absolutely no record of any kind of the reaction or response these cars received over the last 50 years and no photos of actual cars... no information on what they were like to drive, the mechanicals, the frames, the transmissions, the engines, the horsepower, anything technical.
For a better book of this kind look for "the complete catalog" or better still "80 years of cadillac." A good cadillac book on the par with books about Chevy, Ford, Ferrarri, etc. has yet to be published. How can the author even call this a book or call himself an author? He supposedly owns a 1955 cadillac and has met with other cadillac owners, where is the information from this?
The other reviewer is a librarian and gives all her reviews five stars.
 Full color photos and countless information on each of the models of Cadillac's during that era
The Tailfin - the relic of the fifties and what was cool during those years. "Cadillac: The Tailfin Years" is a coffee table book of photography for those who don't want to accept that time has passed and still find the tailfins cool. Filled cover to cover with full color photos and countless information on each of the models of Cadillac's during that era, it is the ideal gift for lovers of old vehicles, making "Cadillac: The Tailfin Years" highly recommended to community library photography and automotive history collections.
