Classic Cars Editorial Review

The book "My Dad Had That Car" offers a nostalgic look at American automobiles from the years 1920-1990. The book includes black and white pictures of old car advertisements and is a good reference book for those interested in the history of cars. However, some customers found the book to be disappointing as they were expecting stories about old cars but found only old newspaper ads. Some also found the pictures to be poorly printed and overlapped, making the book look like an old Sears catalog.
