This is a limited edition series. Volume II details a chronology of mascot design, through the years 1926 to 1933.

Vol. I, 304 pages and Vol. III, 288 pages, are available to complete the 3 volume set of 880 pages with over 600 mascots detailed in large photos and expert narrative.
Written for the do-it-yourselfer, good enough for the pro! Find hidden rust, spot crash damage, detect body filler, size up a car with a 10-minute walk-around, find mechanical problems, road-test the vehicle, plus checklists to insure you get what you pay for.
