Torinos

Did you know that Mustangs were not the only muscle cars developed by the Ford Motor Company? Fairlanes and Torinos were also important members of the Ford family in the 1950s, 1960s, and 1970s. Readers will learn about these affordable cars, which offered something for everyone, from speedy race cars to family vehicles with a little something extra under the hood. Detailed photographs show the many models of these cars, which deserve the same attention as the other muscle cars of their time. Series Review: Wild Wheels, Set 1"This series is sure to be as popular as the subjects themselves. The light, somewhat breezy texts move quickly, presenting the history of the cars and just the right amount of information...The vocabulary is right on target. The bright, colorful illustrations are excellent, usually filling the spreads as background to the narratives. Boxed captions are informative, and are placed so that they do not detract from the illustrations...Overall, this series is a first purchase."-School Library Journal
