From time to time I get books to review in exchange for doing a write up, the other day I received a copy of Road Hogs by Eric Peters to review and I am very impressed. The book is 160 pages filled with images and information all about the big cars of the day. Once I opened the book I couldn’t put it down. Although the book isn’t all about Cadillacs the amount of Cadillacs in the book is a lot. There are over 165 color images of these big cars with many of them Cadillac. Needless to say I was very happy.
The author certainly has a passion about big cars from the 1960’s and 1970’s, the decades that GM built this big cars. The Cadillac on the cover really tells you what the book is about. Like I said above this book is filled with Cadillacs. There are pictures and information on Cadillac Eldorados, Eldorado Biarritz, Cadillac convertibles, Coupe Devilles, Sedan Devilles Fleetwood sixty or 75 limo’s.
The Eric’s passion for big grills and big V-8 power is evident in all the cars he picked out to write about, and there is nothing wrong with that. I am a fan of these cars also so I enjoyed seeing them. I actually learned a few things that I didn’t know. Some of the other cars he writes about are the Pontiac Catalina, Buick Electra, Buick Riviera, Chevy Monte Carlo, and one of my favorites the Chrysler Cordoba.
If you want to buy the book you can order the book through Amazon and when you do our site makes a buck or two which helps pay for our web hosting. Road Hogs: Detroit’s Big, Beautiful Luxury Performance Cars of the 1960s and 1970s.

Once again you can order the book on Amazon and help out the club at the same time. Road Hogs: Detroit’s Big, Beautiful Luxury Performance Cars of the 1960s and 1970s
