Default Cool Car Books - recommendations?

I found this new book in the local library, thought I'd recommend it and see if anyone would like to recommend other books. (Can't see any thread of this topic in the search.)

Holden Vs Ford - The Cars, the Culture, the Competition

Written by Steve Bedwell
Published by Rockpool Publishing, 2009.

It covers all the 1960s, 1970s and 1980s period of rivals Holden and Ford in the showroom, concepts and motorsport, and how the political and environmental situation affected them. Pretty good stuff. You should see the XC-XD style ute concept, one ugly duckling.

Anyone like to recommend other cool books?
